"Measuring 'Nothing' and Getting It Right" - a symposium in honor of the physics career of Dr. Stuart Freedman (http://freedman2014.org): Dr. James Napolitano (Professor at the Department of Physics, Temple University) speaks about his work with Dr. Freedman on an experiment to search for fundamental scalars in nuclear decay, including some interesting anecdotes from getting the work published. This talk first traces some of his history with Dr. Freedman, including "nothings" that he measured with him and some of the things that Dr. Freedman taught him.
