AIP President’s blog

Welcome to my monthly email to people around the country with an interest in Physics. It has news and events for July 2010 and beyond.

This month the AIP is discussing black hole appetites in Canberra, discovering the real CERN in Wollongong, delving into the history of the Nobel Prize in Physics at UQ and adventuring in wide field astronomy in Hobart. These and many more events listed below.

Welcome to my monthly posting to people around the country with an interest in physics. It contains news and events for May 2010 and beyond.

This month the AIP is celebrating the laser in Canberra; exploring nuclear energy without radioactive radiation in Sydney; discovering the rocky birth of physics at UQ; hunting high energy particles with the Moon in Adelaide; showing off new talent in Melbourne and sniffing the air in Tasmania.

We’re calling for papers for the AIP Congress, which will be in Melbourne in December.

And we’re recognising achievement in physics via a range of AIP awards and medals. Read the full article →

Welcome to my monthly newsletter to people around the country with an interest in physics, following a big showing by physics in National Science Week. Congratulations to all involved in holding events-I know of at least 120 physics events that took place.

This month I report on FASTS, the Square Kilometre Array bid, Eureka Prize and L’Oreal For Women in Science winners, upcoming activities for the International Year of Astronomy, and new places to place or find physics jobs on the net. Read the full article →

Welcome to my special bulletin for National Science Week 2009.

There are over 650 events being held around Australia during Science Week, which runs from 15-23 August, and many of them have a focus on physics. National events include a speaking tour by theoretical physicist Lawrence Krauss and the Big Aussie Star Hunt.

I’ve listed the National Science Week events below and full details are online at www.scienceweek.gov.au.

I’ve also listed the various AIP events, as a reminder (many of them were in the last bulletin). Read the full article →

Welcome to my monthly email to people around the country with an interest in physics, as we remember the first moon landing 40 years ago. In August, Christine Charles, the AIP’s 2009 Women in Physics lecturer, is busy talking to school students and the public in Queensland, Victoria and Tasmania. The IYA lecturers are also busy in Western Australia, and Reinhard Genzel is talking in Canberra.

For a general audience, US cosmologist Lawrence Krauss is appearing around the country for Science Week. Highlights include a talk to the AIP in Victoria, and at the Melbourne Writers Festival. Read the full article →

Welcome to my monthly email to AIP members.

Coming up in May: plasmas, orreries, musical wind instruments and particles in AIP events around the country.

Astronomy features at the Sydney Writers Festival and in talks in Sydney, Melbourne and the ACT. And there are teacher development courses covering nanotechnology, astronomy and astrophysics. All these and more below. Read the full article →

Coming up in April: acoustics of wind instruments and the opening of a new photonics institute in Sydney; Brian Schmidt explains the universe from beginning to end; and the gaseous holes of galaxies in Melbourne. And dozens of astronomy events. Read the full article →

This month discuss optical illusions in Canberra; and film special effects in SA; there’s a physics in-service for teachers in Melbourne; and a workshop on undergraduate teaching in Canberra. Read the full article →

This is my last newsletter as AIP President. The AIP AGM will be held in Melbourne on Thursday 12 February (details below), after which we will have a new executive committee. Next month Brian James, who will become AIP President, will bring you all the news and events. Read the full article →
