As part of wrapping up our World Year of Physics celebrations in Physics Today, we present the winner of the July issue’s lyrics-writing contest and offer a new song. Lyrics submissions came from places as far apart as India, New Zealand, and the US. The winner, as chosen by the editors of Physics Today, is The Entanglement Tango by John Roeder of The Calhoun School in New York City. Roeder teaches both a “Physics First” course to all Calhoun ninth graders and a more traditional physics course to high-school juniors and seniors.
Our special features throughout the year were assembled by a Year of Physics task force, dubbed the “Yoppers.” Michael Mendelson (www.slidingscalemusic.com) came up with Yopper’s Stride for us, and it has now evolved into The Physics Today Rag. We hope you enjoy it.
