Normally, to me, the term far infrared means that part of the infrared spectrum at wavelengths longer than 25µm (one µm being one-millionth of a meter). This page at Cal Tech gives the astrophysical use […]

Attendees had backgrounds in biology, medicine, mathematics, physics, engineering, computer science, ecology, and public health. Coming from my own computational physics background, I’m doing a few reflective posts on what struck me during the conference. The […]
