Bienvenue au Quebec!

Bonjour,

While putting the finishing touches on my slides and figuring out what to pack for summertime in Canada, I'm brushing up on my French. Many people in Quebec speak English, but here are a few sayings you may find useful if you wish to "speak the language":

"Ou est la salle de bains?" (Where is the bathroom?)
"Je voudrais une biere." (I would like a beer.)
"Je ne parle pas la francais." (I don't speak French.)

I am looking forward to the many student activities at the annual meeting. This year, we are mixing business with pleasure at our committee meeting/social. Over 200 students signed up for the event, so it should be a good time. Also, the students are hosting a special session about careers in science. This promises to be a GREAT session. Don't miss it!

Be sure to check out the Art in APS exhibit. This year's artists have really outdone themselves. I haven't seen it yet, but one of the art pieces requires a projector and speakers. I'm intrigued.

For those of you who are unable to attend the meeting, we will try to post regularly to give you a feel for what you are missing!

Au revoir,
Angela Records
