Chad Orzel

Chad Orzel is a professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Union College in Schenectady, NY (where the ideas come from).  He also runs the weblog "Uncertain Principles" as part of the ScienceBlogs collective, where he posts regularly about physics, politics, pop culture, and anything else that seems interesting.  He was a graduate student at the University of Maryland, where he worked in the group of William Phillips, who shared the 1997 Nobel Prize in Physics.  In 1998, he spent about three months working in a research lab outside of Tokyo, and has been looking for an excuse to come back to Japan ever since.  He lives in Niskayuna, NY, with his wife, Kate Nepveu, and their dog Emmy, the Queen of Niskayuna.
