Congratulations Peter! With our Department Chair in the background, Peter portions off the chocolate ganache cake. Adam Riess' flowers served as a centerpiece.

Along the way, we are collecting artifacts that commemorate Peter’s link to the Nobel: newspaper articles that mention or focus on this, a screenshot of the Notre Dame website when it featured a story about Peter’s invitation to Stockholm, the corks from our Champagne toast with students and colleagues.

Cathie Garnavich read all the papers that were featured on the place holders. Now that is dedication to your craft!

We kept the note that came with the flowers. But we think no one else in the team has anything comparable to these Accelerating Universe Nobel Prize themed Thanksgiving place holders (exquisitely crafted by our sister in law Cathie Garnavich.)
