    ,;condensed matter physicist, movie science consultant, and author of “The Physics of Superheroes”; a physicist entrepreneur who founded her own consulting company; and SPS Intern

    Elon Price

    , who created an awesome video and poster about physics careers this summer.

  • Data highlighting the
    LSA

    T scores of physics students compared with other majors,

    and employment and salary information for physics BS grads.

  • Information about the Conferences for Undergraduate Women in Physics (CUWiP),

    APS Webinars, and the APS Professional Guidebook.

  • Information on Monte Carlo simulations, the physics behind cooking the perfect pancake, and new flying microbots being developed for exciting new applications!
