Physics is Phun September 2024

Details
Published: Wednesday, 25 September 2024 16:00

 Greetings, Physics Phans! Our ever-popular Physics is Phun shows return for another semester!

 Part of our department’s extensive outreach program, Physics is Phun is a series of public presentations on a physics theme. We typically present the same show twice in a weekend, and have one to three such weekends per semester.

 Our first program for the fall, The Physics of Sound, will be presented on September 27th and 28th in the UMD Physics Lecture Halls in College Park.

 Get all the details and register at https://umdphysics.umd.edu/events/aboutus-outreach/physics-is-phun.html
