Dear All,<br>
<br>
it appears that RBS are considering putting Maxwell on a bank note.
It might be worth voting for this if you think it worthwhile and
perhaps encouraging your PG/UG students to do so.<br>
<br>
Best Regards<br>
<br>
John<br>

Many thanks for your confirmation that the Facebook

May I suggest that a 'breaking news flier' is posted
conspicuously on the Foundations homepage giving the
RBS URL<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a

and the facebook URL (which is well down the RBS
page); also I think IoP Scotland could be asked to put
out a press release advertising the vote and maybe the
IoP at large to help target UK physicists, though not
many south of the border are likely to see RBS
banknotes. If half the people who use the JCM
building in Edinburgh voted then that would help! I
will try to get the University communications
section here to put out a general release but if they
don't then we can circulate a good few hundred physics
students as well as staff. What has amazed me is the
number of non physicists who have mentioned to me that
they have seen the recent BBC Maxwell program and
commented favourably. I'm not sure how to tap this
potential support.
