Harper College alum Tim Damisch has his sights set on the Santa Fe Trail. As president of the Illini Solar Car Team, he’s been helping lead a crew of more than 80 students to build a sleek, light and efficient car they hope will thrive this summer on the 900-mile American Solar Challenge course from Independence, Missouri, to Santa Fe, New Mexico.
“It’s one of the coolest things I’ve done with myself so far,” Tim, originally from Palatine, said of being a part of the Illini Solar Car Team.

Take a step back and double check; don’t jump to thinking that unexpected data indicate something new. Physicists searching for new states of matter should carefully consider all possible explanations for their data before claiming a discovery.×
“No, you probably have not discovered a new state of matter,” is what I tell myself every time a student in my lab brings me a peculiar piece of data. I try to remain skeptical and first assume that the data come from a glitch, a coincidence, or some other triviality. But even then, I can’t help but be hopeful; maybe we have found something new.
