PHYSICS THURSDAY



Physics Thursday is a weekly gathering for anyone interested in physics or astronomy. Every week students and faculty members present research that they've been involved in. Physics Thursday meets every week (unless otherwise noted) on Thursday (imagine that!) at 4pm in room 106 in Phillips Hall. As an added bonus, there are always refreshments provided to attendees!
To make things even better, you can come up to the physics seminar room (P224) at 3:30 for the pre-game party where people will be either eating cookies or reading jokes off of laffy taffy packages (often times both).
