Join us each Thursday at 3:00 pm in the Physics Library (Merion 125) for The Physics Tea. This is a social time we have set aside for physics students and faculty to chat about physics, classes, grad school, and anything else that happens to come up in conversation. It's a great time to relax and see your professors and classmates in an informal atmosphere outside the classroom. Visitors welcome, especially alumni and prospective students!
Physics Tea will start again September 3rd 2009.

Dr. Aptowicz was awarded a grant from the Research Corporation for Science Advancement to look at the structural and dynamic response of a two-dimensional colloidal glass to local perturbations. The grant will outfit his lab with sample preparation instruments and pay for students to conduct research over the summer months. Students can find out more information about this research opportunity here.

You might have noticed the new addition to the department. It resides outside of room 109 and comes from the creative mind a Spencer Tomberg. "Sir Isaac Newton: On the Shoulders of Giants" is an abstract work of art that was inspired by a famous quote of Sir Isaac Newton: “If I have seen farther, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.”  Take a close look at the painting and enjoy.
