Completely unnecessary side note: It's run by one of my old professors[1]! The whole physics department at Michigan Tech is a cool little diamond in the middle of the Upper Peninsula rough.

- mattlutze 11y agoThe UP is sparsely populated and not nationally known for high-tech industries or science, but rather wilderness, logging, mining, hunting, and general backwoods-ish-ness. Houghton is the exception; hidden under that rough-and-wild exterior are some rather outstanding minds, particularly in physics and atmospheric sciences. I think it works, but to each their own :)
