USC names its track and field home Allyson Felix Field after most decorated U.S. track athlete in Olympic history.
Allyson Felix, the most decorated American track athlete in Olympic history, added another honor to her resume on Wednesday, Jan. 18, when USC, her alma mater, announced it will be naming the Trojans’ track and field home Allyson Felix Field.
“When Allyson and I spoke about naming the field after her, she responded with the grace and humility she has shown throughout her life,” USC President Carol Folt said in a statement. “The Allyson Felix Field will recognize her immense achievements as a sports legend and Trojan — while also showing our admiration for her role as an entrepreneur, advocate and champion for women.”
Olympian Allyson Felix at the University of Southern California 2022 commencement ceremony accepted her honorary degree and delivered the commencement address in Los Angeles on Friday, May 13, 2022. Allyson Felix reacts to her second place in the women’s 400-meter run at the U.S. Olympic Track and Field Trials Sunday, June 20, 2021, in Eugene, Ore.

The fundamentality of fields - SyntheseThere is debate as to whether quantum field theory is, at bottom, a quantum theory of fields or particles. One can take a field approach to the theory, using wave functionals over field configurations, or a particle approach, using wave functions over particle configurations. This article argues for a field approach, presenting three advantages over a particle approach: (1) particle wave functions are not available for photons, (2) a classical field model of the electron gives a superior account of both spin and self-interaction as compared to a classical particle model, and (3) the space of field wave functionals appears to be larger than the space of particle wave functions. The article also describes two important tasks facing proponents of a field approach: (1) legitimize or excise the use of Grassmann numbers for fermionic field values and in wave functional amplitudes, and (2) describe how quantum fields give rise to particle-like behavior.
