Welcome to the Australian Institute of Physics – President’s blog
I use this page for my monthly ‘Physics in Australia’ bulletins and for other occasional physics news. It complements the AIP’s site at http://www.aip.org.au.
Comments and other ideas are very welcome!

This month there are 20 events around the country: nanotechnology in Sydney, quantum reality in Melbourne and the topical Large Hadron Collider in WA. We also have advance notice of some conferences in February 2009, for condensed matter and materials scientists, and VCE physics teachers. Read the full article →
Nominations are still open for The Walsh Medal, awarded by the AIP to a practising physicist who has made significant contributions to industry in Australia. It’s an important prize and will be presented at the AIP Congress in Adelaide in December 2008. Read the full article →
Thirty seven events – yes, there’s a lot of physics happening around the country this month. We’ve broken the list into two – AIP events and others. Many of them are Science Week events with a physics theme. Read the full article →
