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.
The AIP events include: Joel Gilmore’s youth lecture tour of Queensland, Anya Reading delving into the Earth’s hidden depths in Tasmania, Deb Kane in Sydney reflecting on that big step of undertaking a PhD, and Annette Haworth revolutionising the treatment of prostate cancer with high tech radiotherapy in Victoria.
Also in this message: last call for abstracts for the AIP Congress – 1 August 2008. We extended the previous deadline as it clashed with a major conference.
Closing very soon are nominations for the AIP Walsh Medal and Award for Outstanding Service to Physics. I encourage AIP members to nominate physicists whose work has contributed significantly to research and/or development in physics in Australia.
For details on these and more read on.
I send this bulletin each month to all AIP members. Thank you for your continuing support of the AIP. If you have any questions or comments on this bulletin, the AIP or physics in Australia, please let me know.
Cathy Foley, AIP President.

VIC: Tuesday 12 August, 12.00-1.00pm, University of Melbourne
TITLE: Colloquium – Age, the complement of energy
SPEAKER: Prof. David T. Pegg, School of Biomolecular and Physical Sciences, Griffith University, Brisbane
Location: Hercus Theatre, University of Melbourne
Position is the quantum mechanical complement of momentum. Angular orientation is the complement of angular momentum. Phase is the complement of photon number.
What is the complement of energy?
It must have dimensions of time but must also be an observable. A suitable name for this quantity would be “age”, but does such a quantity exist? We show that it does.

AIP Congress
The Australian Institute of Physics’ National Congress opens in Adelaide on 30 November 2008. The deadline for submission of abstracts has been extended to 1 August 2008.
There’s a fascinating array of plenary speakers including Jocelyn Bell Burnell (discoverer of pulsars); Alain Aspect talking on quantum optics; Michael Geyer on solar engineering; and John Pendry on condensed matter.
I’d encourage all physicists to consider participating in the Congress.
The Congress starts on Sunday 30 November and closes on Friday 5 December. It brings together physicists from Australia and overseas to participate in a program covering a wide range of topics. The program is arranged in collaboration with many Australian physics-related societies and special interest groups. Contributed papers will cover all areas of physics.
The Congress presents an excellent networking opportunity for physicists working in academia, industry and the government sector, in addition to providing students with the opportunity to meet and interact with their peers and potential employers.
Read more about the Congress and submit abstracts at http://www.aipc2008.com
