Study…?
Tired…?
Hungry…?
Physics…?
Hungry…?
…Solution…
SPS
Come and relax in ISB 231 with SPS. For that study break on Thursday we are going to have a Pizza party. Also we will watch a sweet 1950’s physics film about reference frames.
See you there.
…or you’ll see me there?
It depends on whose reference frame you are in.
Don’t forget about the Zone Meeting / Big Physics Day this Spring.
And a cool article about Magnetoreception in Animals is here.

Like beer?
Bubbles?
Fizz?
Physics???
Then come to this weeks SPS meeting and learn about bubbles…well…bubble chambers at least. We will be watching a Berkeley Lab Summer Lecture Series Video about:
Don Glaser, who won the 1960 Nobel Prize for Physics for his 1952 invention of the bubble chamber at Berkeley Lab, a type of particle detector that became the mainstay of high-energy physics research throughout the 1960s and 1970s. He discusses how, inspired by bubbles in a glass of beer, he invented the bubble chamber and detected cosmic-ray muons.
While we cannot serve beer, there will be coffee, tea and snacks.
