Happy customers

My name is Madison and I'm a huge fan of yours. When I first found your app in late 2011, I was a young 6th grader who was confused, but ecstatic to learn more. Fast forward five years to present day. I'm still a young girl, but now I'm a junior in high school who is graduating this year, and I plan to major in particle physics. I would personally like to thank you for introducing me to the subject. I am in love with your work and plan to order my science teachers each a plushy as a personal thank you gift. Thank you so much. Your cute take on the standard model has truly changed my life, and for that, I am eternally grateful.
All the best,
Madison S.

…………………….

Thank you so much! I truly appreciate all the art work, love, and skill you put into them ^_^ They are going to be a a much wanted gift to my 3 children for their birthday later this year. Thank you so much and keep doing what you are doing. It really does change our world for the better. You really inspire our next generation.
Take Care,

I just thought you might like to know that my son loves his subatomic particles. He has imbued them with various personalities, and they have had many adventures. Top and Bottom quark are owners of the Top to Bottom Spa. Tachyon and Dark Matter are best friends, etc. He is about to embark on his very first independent research project at school (he is in first grade), and the subject is, you guessed it, subatomic particles. He is having a subatomic themed birthday party. I cannot tell you how thrilled I am to have found your site! 
Cheers,
Caroline C.

…………………….

Thank you so much! S. just got his gift and loves it!
What great gifts these make, I just wish I had known about you earlier!
Thanks again for the prompt mailing!

My 8 year old son and I just got Photon in the mail and LOVE IT! We just ordered 2 more. He wants them all starting at zero mass on up. This will be a year long project. His Photon eats breakfast, reads with him and of course you can't get a good night's sleep without a subatomic particles by your side!
Just thought we'd let you know how much we LOVE your creations! And web site.
Sincerely,
Keira B.

…………………….

Thank you so much!!!  My son just loves you.  It hasn't been easy to find standard model of physics toys for a 7 year old!  
Tina F.

…………………….

I'm a happy owner of a cheerful positron made by you, and all other kids (colleagues-scientists who have to do with positrons, too) are somewhat jealous. Thank you for your bright ideas!
Vera

………………….

Many thanks! Looking forward to receiving them – am running short on badges as I give them as top rewards to my pupils. Whether they are 11 years old or 18 years old they certainly love them!!

…………………….

My son is putting together a standard model display, and these particles will complete the display.
Anna B.

…………………….

Thank for this wonderful product! I can't wait to use them in a "Dinner With A Scientist" event with 4th and 5th graders. Thanks again,
"Dr." Adam B.

…………………….

I received the magnets today - it's a great, solid product! I'm a geochemistry professor and I'll put these up in my office on Monday. I also teach a class on isotopes and radioactive decay so I just purchased the beta decay set. I think even college students will appreciate the plush visual aid. :)
Thanks again!

…………………….

I wanted to let you know that the zipper pouch I ordered recently arrived this morning and it is utterly perfect :) My whiteboard markers finally have a home that suits their purpose... and I'm sure I'll be looking for reasons to just carry it with me. Thank you for the lovely craftsmanship and the very quick delivery!
Kitty P.

I really thank you for your kindness. The package has arrived and it is exactly as described. It will be the best graduation present ever! Thank you again! I will recommend your Particle Zoo shop to anyone that could be interested!
Cheers,
Giulia P. (Italy)

…………………….

I seem to order particles every year for my son's birthday and for Christmas! This year he wants the history of the universe set.
Thanks,
Christine M.

…………………….

We are teaching particle physics at the moment and realised that for positron-electron annihilation you need 2 photons – we look forward to having a second one!! Also – we have magnetic white board, so the magnetic Feynman stuff is going to be awesome!
Best wishes to you!
Kate R.

…………………….

I’m so excited. It's for my son who has Asperger's. He is turning 13 and is obsessed with physics. He's been asking for this since Christmas.
Sharyn H.

…………………….

We are a big fan of your work! My dad has been getting a particle every year for his birthday for a while now. We are starting to run out of things to order! Thanks for making his birthday special every year! 
Margaret C.

…………………….

I couldn't stop smiling when I found your site -- it is ingenious. My granddaughter is 16 and is taking two honors chemistry classes. I thought this would be fun for her. She said she just "loves neutrinos -- they are so cute!" I have been teaching my younger grandchildren about atoms and can't wait to order more.
Thanks again,
Joanie E.

…………………….

My girlfriend got me a neutron with the little quarks inside for Christmas. They are awesome! I will definitely be getting more in the future, so please keep up the great work :)
Thanks,
Christopher W.

…………………….

With these new particles complementing the existing zoo that I have, I can now demonstrate the proton-proton chain of solar fusion!
With best regards,
Pekka R. (Finland)

…………………….

I look forward to receiving them. The ones we already have are so useful in my lessons and the students are fascinated my them.
Kind regards,
Jacob S. (UK)

…………………….

My subatomic particles were waiting when I got home yesterday, thanks again they are sooooo cute!
Best wishes,
Kate M.

…………………….

I am working as a physics teacher in Germany. A year ago I ordered some of your wonderful particles for my lessons. My students love these little particles :).
Alexander K.

…………………….

Marvelous, another year of trainee Physics teachers here at Cambridge will get their well done and good luck presents in plush, particle form.
Kindest regards,
James D.

…………………….

Thank you! We already have one set of magnets and fell in love with them! They are a brilliant idea!
Cheers,
Sue B.

…………………….

It is awesome!!! It's a present for my physics teacher training mentor, I think she'll love it! :-)
Thanks!
Alex D.

…………………….

I just wanted to say thanks for the quick delivery of my top quark. Its super cute - though I still don't really understand what it is. Your delivery was fast which was great as it was a gift for my nephew. He joined me for Physics Slam 2015 at The University of Oregon and after we heard a talk on quarks he turned to tell me that's what he wanted for his 10th birthday. Gulp. How could I give him what I can't see or hold (or even comprehend)? So your plush top quark (and the Higgs Boson plushie he got from my friend) was perfect!
Carey B.

…………………….

I love that you sew the particles, and I know my daughter will be thrilled, as she likes to craft all sorts of creatures and make costumes. Thank you for a stellar sweet 16 birthday gift for a budding physicist!
Cheers and Gratitude,
Alisa K.

…………………….

The Bosons arrived and look great. I gave one of your Higgs Bosons to Tasneem Zehra Husain, a string theorist who recently published an intriguing book ("Only the Longest Threads") in which the frame story takes place at the July 4, 2012 announcement of the CMS and ATLAS results. She was thrilled with your whimsical representation of the particle.
Onward,
Rick D.

…………………….

Just so you know what I intend to do with them...I am teacher in charge of Physics at a 11-19 school and when we are studying Nuclear physics with the sixth form, we put the buttons in a bag and the students each draw one out to wear on their jackets. Last time I drew "top quark" which was one of the most desirable, so looking forward to seeing what I get this time. I love your ideas.
Anne O. (UK)

…………………….

The Sr. High physics students love the particles as they can visualize different interactions. These are for the Higgs decaying into Z’s and them decaying into muons. Thanks again for making it possible for kids to see the interactions!
Bob L.

…………………….

Thanks Julie. My college age son will be thrilled. He asked for these to put on his backpack for his birthday. He is a science, especially physics nerd!
Victoria M.

…………………….

Particles arrived, they're fine!! ... Immediately adopted with pleasure. Thank you for all, plushies and quickness.
Lise E. (France)

…………………….

Love your particle zoo. With friends I just went to Nepal to explain Particle Physics to high school kids and your proton with the quarks inside was of great use to explain stuff in a fun way.
Joerg S.

…………………….

I bought the poster a few weeks back, and I *love* it! Soon, the playing cards will arrive, so I’m now hooked. Next year, I’ll probably be spending a serious portion of my disposable income on decorating my new home study with adorable little plushies!
Julie G.

…………………….

I bought my son (Josh) the 22-part Universe in a Box for Xmas and he absolutely loved it. His best xmas present!
Kay W.

…………………….

Thank you very much for the Higg's Boson, you made my girlfriend (25 year old but still a kid inside… really happy :)
Kind regards,
Victor C.

…………………….

I received the Particles on Monday and I'm delighted! They are so cute and of such great quality. This will be a christmas gift for our family - my partner is a physicist and our ten year old daughter is very interested in history of origins so I think the Particles for the christmas tree will be a nice surprise.
Eva G.

…………………….

I wanted to say that I hope I am responsible for a small uptick in orders from Virginia! I spoke to my daughter's middle school class of about 50 students about particle physics two months ago and used your plush particles as a visual aid. The kids did some further study on particle physics for the rest of the quarter and I came back into the classroom to see their presentations and gave them each a particle button at the end of the quarter. Here is a picture of me and some of the students with their posters. Their particles look just like your particles :)
Karla H.

…………………….

Our teenage physics major is going to be the recipient of the set of particle plushies I ordered this morning. He’s really excited about them, so I thought I’d just write to say thanks to you! Keep up the good work!
Andy M.

…………………….

I have been showing off your amazing collection to my family and hopefully they will be ordering from you in the near future. Its so obvious you have put a lot of thought into these creations, the photon wave-particle design was genius. I think every school in America should have your particle zoo!
Otis G.

…………………….

These particles are amazing, I love it! Thank you for your creative work. Certainly you did a lot to make physics more popular!
Dr. Sergey S. (Moscow, Russia)

…………………….

My daughter L. started her collection when she was in Grade 6! She has many particles, buttons etc. She is now headed to university doing double major in commerce and chemistry with a dream of starting a company focused on promoting science education among elementary school kids especially young girls. Your site and enterprise played a large part in the growth of her interest!

 She became quite attached to them (she was 11 or so when they first arrived), and as her collection grew she began writing stories about them.

In middle school and high school her interest veered off to chemistry and she created an entire set of characters based on all the elements of the periodic table. She has become quite a good illustrator, taking courses, and summer camps, and began writing comics featuring her "elements". She won a prize from IUPAC (the pre-eminent chemistry society).

She has put aside the money she has won for scholarships and plans to make a series of books to help young children, especially girls get interested in the Sciences. She is in the process of starting her own web-site featuring her work. She is currently starting an Honours degree in Commerce with a Major in Chemistry.

And this all developed out of her fascination with UP and DOWN Quark, and then Higgs, and Tachyon and ...

…………………….

Just wanted to let you know my little photon arrived today and I love him!
Hopefully I can eventually collect them all.
Thanks so much!
Marni M.

…………………….

I have made 2 purchases with you now and received excellent service on both occasions. My son actually took his Higgs Boson on a recent visit to the Hadron Collider at CERN, it certainly is well travelled!
Kind regards,
Stella M.

…………………….

I'm happy to inform you that your nice Proton and Antiproton have just arrived here, at home. I think they will be an original surprise for my brother who is going to take his PhD in Physics! Thank you again for your work!
Sincerely,
Marino D.

…………………….

I am so excited. It is Andrew's birthday on the 2nd and he is graduating this May with a degree in nuclear physics. I just love your creations. I know he will enjoy this gift. 
Thanks,
Camilla W.

…………………….

She opened the box this morning and just loved it. She had to organize them right away.  You made them beautifully. I love all the character each one has. Thanks so much for making such a great fun product!!!!

I really love your little artworks. I'm giving the Cosmic Background Radiation-Pillow to my boyfriend as a birthday present as he's studying Physics, and I'm glad I could find such an inventive and sweet present.
All the best from Berlin,
Sophie P.

Thanks, Julie! Higgs arrived today, awesome work! I'm sure I'll be purchasing more in the future.

Cheers,
Jess
