On 6 March 2008 several members of the Hendrix physics department traveled to the Clinton School of Public Service in Little Rock, AR to attend a lunch lecture by Nobel laureate William Phillips. Dr. Phillips shared the 1997 Nobel Prize in Physics with Steven Chu and Claude Cohen-Tannoudji "for development of methods to cool and trap atoms with laser light".
The delegation from Hendrix consisted of (left to right) William West, Justin Thomas, Kris Staples, Edward Holcomb, Alice Riley, Laura Johnson, Dr. Ann Wright, and Dr. Todd Tinsley (not pictured).
There was some time to interact with Dr. Phillips after his lecture.
Dr. Phillips graciously agreed to have his picture taken with Kris Staples, Laura Johnson, Alice Riley, and Justin Thomas.
