From the ANS Annual Meeting (Photoblog)
The Opening Plenary at the 2013 ANS Annual Meeting is now underway-and it's amazing how much goes on before the "Opening". Already on Saturday morning a Teachers Workshop was in progress, and Saturday evening the Global Leadership Reception was in full swing. A few select photos:

Almost unbelievable-one can see "trails" of individual alpha and beta particles using a simple cloud chamber.
Detecting radioactive particles.
Meanwhile, the setting for the ANS Annual Meeting, the beautiful Hyatt Regency Atlanta.
