Upcoming

Schrödinger's Chats

Schrödinger's Chats are fun and casual gatherings for É«ÇéÊÓƵ students, faculty, and staff to mingle. A safe and welcoming environment to discuss physics, share your favorite physics joke — or drop esoteric physics terminology. Don't worry, you're amongst friends! This event is open to all. You need not be a physics major to join us!

Each Chat includes an informal 10-15 minute presentation on any physics topic of interest to the presenter â€” or to you!
