On Friday, May 16th at 3:00 pm, the Caltech Alumni Association will unveil its analemmetic sundial. Stand on the plinth and become a human timepiece, using your shadow to tell the current time. Alumni, students, faculty, staff and visitors are invited to the unveiling of this interactive public artwork.

Caltech alumnus Ronald Linde ('62 MS, '64 PhD MS) and Maxine Linde have established an $18 million endowment for an interdivisional approach to studying global environmental science.

Caltech professor Paul Bellan and the research conducted by the Bellan Plasma Group is featured in this month's WIRED. Bellan's lab uses a giant vacuum chamber to simulate the jets of plasma found on the sun. Photo at right of the inside of the vacuum tube from WIRED.
