    APS March Meeting – Student Perspectives
    One of the more interesting parts of the trip was overhearing other physicists discussing their results and experiences. I heard an experimentalist say they felt like a human linear regression machine exploring parameter space in the lab, which I can unfortunately relate to! Gus Thomas, Wooster ’25

I also really loved browsing the physics bookstore and sitting in on the ‘Physics of Superheroes’ talk. During the poster session, someone left an… Read more: March Meeting ’23 — Olivia’s Perspective
  • The shadow of the plane is surrounded by a circular ring of colors, in an aerial view of the Grand Canyon.
    Views on the Way to Vegas

But seeing the Earth from the air still gives me a sense of wonder. I flew out of Cleveland with wonderful late afternoon sun hitting… Read more: Views on the Way to Vegas

My motto became “I know I’m not going to sleep while traveling, so I’m embracing the adrenaline instead.” However, the most exciting… Read more: March Meeting ’23 – Mahala’s Perspective

    March Meeting 2023 – Vegas!
    I recently traveled with four of our REU 2022 alumnae to the American Physical Society Meeting in Las Vegas! I arrived a day later than planned and running low on sleep, so I was rather overwhelmed by the whole atmosphere at the Flamingo casino and hotel where we were staying. Even finding my way out… Read more: March Meeting 2023 – Vegas!
