APS Global Summit 2026 – Abby’s Perspective
During the first week of Wooster’s spring break, I had the amazing opportunity to attend the APS Global Physics Summit in Denver, where I presented a poster on my summer research from Cleveland State University’s Soft Matter REU. This was a great experience, and I’m so thankful I was able to attend one last conference… Read more: APS Global Summit 2026 – Abby’s Perspective
APS Global Summit 2026 – Elise’s Perspective
After a very hectic travel experience, I arrived in Denver around 2pm Monday and headed straight to the convention center. After checking in, I met up with Owen to watch a session on the physics of end-stage cancer metabolism. When we left this talk, I said hi to Dr. Lehman and headed back to the… Read more: APS Global Summit 2026 – Elise’s Perspective

Wooster Physics in Sweden!
A delayed post! Note from Dr Lehman: Gustav Bourdon ’26 was the Physics Club Ambassador to Sweden in spring 2024. I asked him to write a guest blog post, which he promptly did. (Thank you, Gustav!). I then somehow didn’t get it posted promptly. So here we are in 2025 — enjoy this time-traveling post… Read more: Wooster Physics in Sweden!
Global Summit of Physics in Anaheim!
A few weeks ago, I attended the Global Summit of Physics in Anaheim along with my student Abby Hovorka ’26 and Eric Johnson ’25, who was reporting on work that he did as part of his internship at NIST. Attending the March Meeting is always a highlight for me, especially with students, and this year… Read more: Global Summit of Physics in Anaheim!

Trip to COSI in Columbus
This past Saturday, on February 22, 2025, we went to COSI! The Center of Science and Industry is an incredibly interactive science center with amazing exhibitions (the Ocean gallery was one of my favorites), life shows (rat basketball), and a planetarium (I give the seats 8/10 for comfort). We left campus at about 9 a.m.… Read more: Trip to COSI in Columbus
