%US POP. 80% 4% 14.4% 13% Notes: US percentage does not add to 100% because Hispanics are an ethnic group. Approx 60% of US Hispanics are of Mexican origin. Jordan Goodman HAWC Review - December 2007
Mexican Division of Particles and Fields summer program run by Heriberto Castilla • A competition for students, undergraduate of the last two year or graduate students of the first year. We select the best according to academic capacity • HAWC is planning to have one or two students this year. Jordan Goodman HAWC Review - December 2007
