Finally, last day of #ICOLS2023 !
We had the pleasure of listening to a very entertaining talk by #EricCornell about the new particles ("unicorns") we might be able to find by exploring the electron electric dipole moment with highly precise measurements (Also, his slides today are almost as good as the one showed previously from 1995). The other speakers also showed impressive measurements of fundamental constants.
The day ended with a very nice conference dinner - and with talks by #JohnHall and #EricCornell who summarized the history of the #ICOLS conference within the last 60 years or so - basically talking about #laser #spectroscopy since the invention of the laser!
Both speakers made it very clear that a) you cannot do what they did without the strong support of a partner and b) that they probably should have spent more time with their families and less time in the lab/at conferences.
