The Spring-Summer issue of the AIP History Newsletter is posted! The cover story, "Last Collider Standing" (by me), collates reflections on the cancellation of the Isabelle collider, the rise of the ill-fated Superconducting Super Collider, and the origins of RHIC... www.aip.org/sites/defaul...

Transformed my @hsnatsci.bsky.social article on the Belgian MYRRHA reactor into a poster for the Nuclear Science Contest of the Belgian Nuclear Society. Happy to bring the HPS-perspective to a science contest!
