Today I noticed that there is a wildflower garden at the Sandy Bottom Nature Park, in Hampton, VA. An after lunch walk around the small lake ended with the photo below. The garden is actively tended, watered, and has many bird houses and ornaments!
The Feynman Lectures on Physics Online and Free
I noticed that the Professor Feynman Lectures on Physics are available online and free courtesy of Caltech Physics. Read online at The Feynman Lectures on Physics. It looks like I have something fun to do this Labor day weekend!

My Colleague Dr. Thomas F. Brooks Awarded NASA Distinguished Service Medal
I was incredibly fortunate to attend (remotely) the award ceremony for my colleague Dr. Thomas Brooks. I am very proud to call him colleague. Certainly, he has upheld an outstanding tradition at NASA in the most difficult area of experimental fluid dynamics and aeroacoustics. The following is a picture from the program. Please see NASA document NSREF-3000-0358 for more details.
