Hi Frank, Peter, At Snowmass the APS made 40 some short videos of folks saying why particle physics matters to them. Most are fun to watch. A 2-min sampler of the core statements is at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOUbuqbf9JM&feature=c4-overview&list=UUD5B6VoXv41fJ-IW8Wrhz9A They also selected the "top five" videos and you can view and vote on them at http://www.symmetrymagazine.org/contest/why-particle-physics-matters The full set of all the videos is at http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVuf4hejm7rWnVsRcULB6wlrW3k6klOes Thank you, --Ray ----- Forwarded message from [log in to unmask] ----- Date: Thu, 22 Aug 2013 14:46:28 -0400 From: DPF messages <[log in to unmask]> Reply-To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Why Particle Physics Matters To: [log in to unmask] Message to members of the American Physical Society's DPF,Authorized by Howard Haber,Secretary/Treasurer ======================================================== Dear DPF members, This is Kathryn Jepsen, the deputy editor of Symmetry, a magazine about particle physics for the general public published by Fermilab and SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. My colleagues and I recently asked scientists to explain--in about a minute, in their own words--why particle physics matters. Twenty-nine volunteers from 22 institutions stepped forward to do so on video. You can view our top five picks and vote for the best in a contest here: http://www.symmetrymagazine.org/contest/why-particle-physics-matters You can see a compilation of quotes from many of the videos here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOUbuqbf9JM&feature=c4-overview&list=UUD5B6VoXv41fJ-IW8Wrhz9A And you can see the full playlist here: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVuf4hejm7rWnVsRcULB6wlrW3k6klOes We're hoping to encourage as many people as possible to watch these videos, so please feel free to use any of these videos on websites or to share them via social media. And we hope this will inspire you to come up with your own minute-long explanation to the question: Why does particle physics matter?
