As classes start to wind up, the
Society of Physics Students
will begin to get this semester
going in earnest.
On Wednesday, January 23
at 6:30, the first general
meeting of SPS will be held
at NPB2205 (the upstairs
conference room). All physics
students are invited to attend.
The meeting will discuss other
upcoming events for this
semester.
The SPS website states that
some of the events to be
discussed include the everpopular
Physics Is Phun
show, GRE study groups, and
the spring picnic. A second
general meeting is scheduled
to take place on February 11.
Mark your calendars, because
the SPS Zone 6 meeting is
on March 1. The SPS zone
meetings are a great place to
find out what kind of research
society of physics students
is being done today. Last year’s
presentations included microquasars,
single-molecule
magnets, hurricane wind
patterns, and a demonstration
of recent inventions from
the Applied Physics Lab at
Kennedy Space Center. This
year, the meeting will be held
at the University of Central
Florida. If you are interested
in going e-mail sps@phys.
ufl.edu as our chapter may
caravan down.
