Hi everyone, if you liked this post (or any of my other posts, e.g. the Feynman diagram series) I’d like to ask you to vote for me (Philip Tanedo) for the 2011 Blogging Scholarship. The voting goes on for about another week and you can vote once per day. If you re-blog any of my posts, it would mean a lot if you could encourage your readers/friends/Facebook friends, etc. to also vote for me. For the past two years I’ve been able to blog due to support from the National Science Foundation and the Paul and Daisy Soros foundation, but without additional support like the Blogging Scholarship for next year I would be unable to continue with US LHC / Quantum Diaries.
