    The Department of Physics and Astronomy is pleased to present “Physics 123: What Physicists Do”.  This is our annual series of five lectures by guest speakers, many of whom are Carleton alums.  The series is intended to introduce students to a broad range of real-world physics and to give some perspective on the kinds of work done by people with a physics background.  Speakers will be available for informal discussions over refreshments afterward.    Questions: Jay Tasson, Olin 337, x4418, jtasson@carleton.edu.

    The speaker for May 12th will be Paul Grossi (’89).

  • Dinner at Chapati with PHYS 123 Speaker Paul Grossi

    Physics students:  you are invited to attend a dinner with Physics 123 speaker Paul Grossi (’89) this coming Friday, May 12th at Chapati.  Enjoy an evening of friendly conversation which may or may not include some physics talk, but which will definitely include a very tasty dinner, sponsored by (read: paid for by) the Physics and Astronomy department.  RSVP to sign up with Trenne (tfields) via email by 2 PM Thursday.  Sorry, but we have to limit dinner to the first 6 students who respond.  Meet in the department office common area and be ready to leave by 5:29 PM Friday.  Those of you interested in teaching may especially be interested in speaking with Paul.
