  1. Physicists in materials scienceTraitors or missionaries? Peter de Chatel New Mexico State University 26 July 2012 In the Lion’s Den

  2. Theoretical physicists in metallurgy?

  3. String theorist seeks career as guitarist Is this high treason, or spreading the Word to the uneducated?

  4. Are there divisions in physics? Theoretical vs Experimental? Big physics vs Small physics? The poles of the division: (pole: either of two opposite or contrasting extremes) High-energy physics Solid-state physics separate budgets (CERN, clever?) supported by industry (clever?) astronomy, philosophy chemistry, metallurgy theory of everything technological breakthrough Nobel prize MegaNobel sponsoring allies goals ambitions
