Kudos to SNO Pioneers
We enjoyed the Nov. 22 At Guelph article about the well-deserved awarding of the Polanyi Prize to the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory collaboration. We might add that one of the pioneers of this international project — and one of its Canadian leaders — was Prof. John Simpson, who recently retired from the Department of Physics. Another early participant, who worked closely with Simpson and his graduate students, was researcher Pillalamarri Jagam, who has also retired.
The strong support of former U of G president Bill Winegard, who was at that time the minister of state for science and technology, was crucial in getting the project funded.

Thanks for Your Support
I would like to thank those who generously contributed to my “tip jars” while I was playing holiday music in the University Centre courtyard Dec. 12. Almost $700 was raised for the Guelph Food Bank.
A special thank you to the Octave Music Centre on Victoria Road for donating the keyboard for the day, Sam Baijal of UC Programming for the excellent technical support and those who lent their wonderful voices to help make this event such a success.
