Physics Reception and 1st general meeting: Bldg. 4 1st floor conference room, Room# 314

We earnestly invite all students of any background who seek interest in physics to attend this general meeting. This is indeed a great opportunity to not only meet the physics club members and officers, and the latest events for the 2009-2010 school year! Being part of this year’s Society of Physics Students will allow you to not only be well informed about opportunities pertinent to physics academia, but it will give you an opportunity to connect with and form a commodore with the physics majors, all of which have diverse and common interests here on campus. More importantly, our group not only has knowledge about physics, but we also know how to have fun with physics! This year’s chapter is dedicated to growing with of all our members and we are actively seeking ways to potentiate intellectual growth, curiosity and inspiration for studying the wonders of physics.

Biomedical Optics Journal Club–option for independent study credit!

admin — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 22:45:35 +0000

From Instructor: Dr. Small

This fall I am organizing a journal club for students (and anybody else) interested in biomedical applications of optics. This is in place of the Physics 344 elective class, which was canceled due to budget cuts. Interested students can receive 1 unit of independent study credit for active participation and giving a presentation, and 2 units if they also write a research paper.

You do not need to register for credit if you just want to attend the talks and learn something! Anybody is welcome to attend!

Time: 4pm-5pm, Wednesdays
Place: Building 4, Room 4-2-314

Topics: Biological and medical applications of optics, including endoscopes, microscopes, retinal imaging, tumor imaging, optical coherence tomography, and fiber-optic sensors.

Schedule TBA. Course readings and announcements will be posted at http://physicistatlarge.blogspot.com <http://physicistatlarge.blogspot.com/> .
