Earthquake in Japan
The European Physical Society has sent letters of support to the physical societies in Japan, as well as the Japanese Embassy in Poland following the earthquake and tsunami.
The European Physical Society (EPS) would like to express its profound sympathy to the Japanese people following the twin catastrophes of the earthquake and the tsunami of 11 March 2011. We grieve with you for the loss of life and destruction. Our thoughts go out to everyone affected by these tragic events. The calm and courage of the citizens of Japan in the face of the devastation are an inspiration to us all. Our colleagues from around Europe extend their sincere condolences to the Japanese people and the Japanese scientific community. Sincerely
Luisa Cifarelli, Maciek Kolwas
