Weekly Calendar

Jan 4, Friday, 6-8 pm, Goodsell Observatory Public Open House Everyone is invited to come look through the observatory's two historic telescopes. Remember to dress appropriately as the telescope domes are neither heated nor cooled. The open house will be canceled in the event of cloudy skies. For more information contact Jesse at 646 5719 or via email: jball@carleton.edu.*Note: Open houses are held the first Friday of every month.

January 10, Physics Table, Physics Table, Thursday, Noon CRT (Burton) Plan to attend the first physics table of winter term. Note the change of location from the new dining hall to the CRT in Burton. Join the department staff for lunch and good company. We can meet on 3rd Olin at 11:50 for the short walk to Burton you can meet us in the CRT. Students off-board are invited to bring their lunch.

Scanning Tunneling Microscopy Special Project Kevin is looking for two students to work with him (prefer spring term) with his research on scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). Kevin will continue his research during the summer at NIST, Boulder, CO. The students will need to move to Colorado during the summer. If interested, please contact Kevin at: kpettit@carleton.edu
