"Ann Elizabeth Nelson" (born 1958) is a particle physicist at the University of Washington. She was a student of Howard Georgi and has been a member of the university's Particle Theory Group since 1994. She and her collaborators are known for a number of theories, including the theory of spontaneous violation of CP (charge conjugation and parity symmetry), which may explain the origin of the asymmetry observed between matter and anti-matter; the theory of Bose-Einstein condensation of kaon mesons in dense matter, which predicts strangeness in neutron stars; the basic mechanism for electroweak baryogenesis which may explain the origin of matter in the universe; the theory of gauge mediated supersymmetry breaking to account for how supersymmetry at short distances might be compatible with the absence of observed flavor symmetry violation at long distances; the Little Higgs theory which may explain why the Higgs boson must be relatively light; and the theory of "accelerons" which relates neutrino masses to the cosmological dark energy responsible for the relatively recent acceleration of the expansion of the universe. Ann Nelson received a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2004, and was elected to the American academy of arts and sciences/American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2011 and the National Academy of Sciences in 2012.

We're just stewards of the heritage asset for the community at this point. That's why there needs to be a society. It's above and beyond the cash flow.

We'll never do that again.

We want the theatre to survive and be able to create a new set of memories for the next generation.

It was important for me to go to the first public event honoring Mrs. King.

As a woman, I just don't think it's safe for me to walk Franklin Street alone.

We cannot do it piecemeal.

We're keeping the doors open, for new generations to build memories.

This is an inexpensive way to make a change in how something looks.
