Whispering-Gallery?

This may well be my favorite Nature article title of all time:

High-Q surface-plasmon-polariton whispering-gallery microcavity

Well, we're doing our best here!

Perhaps we can soon find our way to Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, DC, London, Lisbon, Taipei, Tokyo, Vancouver, and Seattle (that's right, no Baltimore!) For now, we'll take our social and touring pleasures where we can find them.
