Maryland Gazette : Although the inaugural USA Science and Engineering Festival does not officially begin until 10 October, the Lunch with a Laureate program, which is operating in conjunction with the national festival, has. The lunches take place all over the Virginia, Maryland, and Washington, DC, area. On Tuesday at Maryland’s Bladensburg High School, Nobel Prize winner William Phillips gave a special demonstration involving liquid nitrogen to illustrate concepts involved in his own work with laser light used to slow down and cool atoms. Festival organizers are promising that this month’s festival, which culminates on the National Mall 2324 October, will be the ultimate multicultural, multigenerational, and multidisciplinary celebration of science in the US.
