Dear all,
last month we have asked for your feedback about the means of distribution of this newsletter. Quite a few of you have answered, many of them during the first night after the newsletter was sent. To our big surprise, almost everybody preferred to keep the email format, with the exception of one vote for Facebook and one for Twitter. So, nothing will change!
And thanks for all the nice messages that you have sent along – very encouraging !
Your editorial team

News
Too much publicity for the Winter School in Les Houches, and due to limited space we could only admit 65 out of 90 applicants. There is clearly a large demand for schools (and maybe for skiing), and we are thinking about the next move!
Events
Winter School on Physics with Trapped Charged Particles, Les Houches, France, January 8-19, 2018 LINK

Jobs
With the impending arrival of David Wineland from NIST, Boulder, onto our faculty, the Center for Optical, Molecular and Quantum Science, and the Department of Physics at the University of Oregon are currently running a search for an additional AMO experimentalist in the area of Quantum Information Physics. The current search is open to all levels, and we are particularly interested in the area of trapped ions and neutrals, and closely allied fields.
