Upcoming Events in Society of Physics Students
by Larry Camarota

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.
