Checkout the new(?) Fermi 34 cent stamp of the US post Office. Can one
get a hangable (eg 8x10" or larger) print of this? A really nice portrait,
and plug for physics.

Did anyone see the letter to the editor in this week's Science
magazine about the equation on the board behind Fermi on the stamp?
It looks like he was trying to write the fine structure constant, but
got it partly upside down.

As for a large print of the stamp, check out the Postal Service web
site. They sometimes have promotional material available for sale
there.
