As we published our fall newsletter, we anticipated the departure of COVID, but soon after Omicron arrived. Our high university vaccination rate helped us persevere without losing class or research time. Now, we enter spring with hope on the pandemic front but dismay on the international front. Physics is an international discipline, with faculty, students and colleagues from around the world. The Russian invasion of Ukraine affects many scientists, including those in our department with personal ties to the region. We stand with our Ukrainian colleagues and with our Russian colleagues whose opposition places them in peril. We will work to offer support as we can. With this backdrop of world unrest, it is important to acknowledge the role of science in advancing human knowledge and creating the foundations for technologies to better the future. The stories below highlight efforts by our community to continue this quest.
