THE 23rd INTERNATIONAL PHYSICS OLYMPIAD, held last week in Helsinki, Finland, brought together high school students from 40 countries. The American team received two gold medals, one silver, and two honorable mentions. This was the first time all members of an American team had won an award. The two gold medalists were Eric Miller of San Francisco and Szymon Rusinkiewicz of Houston. (For more information, contact Avi Hauser at 908-615-5406 or Larry Kirkpatrick at 406-994-6182.)
