Dear Tuftons,
We will meet as usual this Friday (November 21st) at 1:00 pm.
As is our tradition, sandwiches and beverages will be available
for in-person attendees.
As the result of sustained efforts by
Jeremy Wolcott, Tufts has
been selected to host the NOvA Collaboration’s summer Meeting,
to be held June 8-12th, 2026 !
Time at the beginning of Friday’s meeting is allotted to thesis analysis
updates and discussion. We will then here from
Cullen Sullivan
who was Tufts only -in-person participant in the recent NOvA
Collaboration Meeting. Cullen will report on developments
at the Meeting which are worthy of the attention of Tufts researchers
and which may serve as the focus of further discussions.

The `called shot’:
Hermann Grassmann
– 1862:
"For I have every confidence that the effort I have applied to the science
reported upon here, which has occupied a considerable span of my lifetime
and demanded the most intense exertions of my powers, is not to be lost.
A time will come when it will be drawn forth from the dust of oblivion and
the ideas laid down here will bear fruit. . . Some day these ideas, even if in
an altered form, will reappear and with the passage of time will participate in
lively intellectual exchanges.”
Grassmann numbers used to express a path integral representation
for fermionic fields (F. A. Berezin ~ 1960).
