Dr. Reid!!!





Last Friday Reid defended his dissertation in particle physics at Johns Hopkins. We were honored to have the newly minted Dr. Reid stay with us for a few days - and not just because he came bearing pictures of the cute Magnus baby! Reid's expertise runs from Lambda-B lifetimes (the world's best measurement, explains his advisor, Petar) to The Milkshake, a field-tested pre-burping ritual (see photos). Jason got to see Reid steer through an hour and a half tour of the world's most amazing science and celebrate with his colleagues over Yoo-Hoo and champagne toasts. Reid, we so admire your determination of mind and body to succeed through eight years of study and work. Congratulations to our amazing brother, and to Jenni and Magnus!
