  • Start date
In summary, the Wisconsin Association of Physics Teachers meeting took place in Oshkosh, WI on Oct 28-29, 2016. The plenary speaker on Friday, the 28th was Jim Gates. The last day to register online was today, but onsite registration was also available. However, there was no guarantee of food options for onsite registration. There were various talks and workshops at the meeting, including one on relativity using rotated graph paper and GeoGebra. Some members of the Physics Forums community were present at the meeting and planned to meet up. One member accidentally skipped a dinner, but was able to meet up with Jim Gates and the others at the meeting.

Well I made a major blunder. I skipped the offered dinner. Robphy ended up eating at the table with Jim Gates. Ouch! Jealous!

It's nice to see your enthusiasm pay off in this way. Enjoy the rest of the afternoon together! :smile:
(Greg, please do not skip dinners anymore. It is better to have one too many.)
