The University of Wolverhampton will host a "Physics before Tea" afternoon on June 23. It is open to everybody. Please join!

Description

This is a free event for everybody interested in Physics, particularly for schools and colleges pupils who are considering to study the topic at the University level. On this pioneering session, we will discuss both the oldest and the newest experiments in Physics, and conduct a simple demonstration with a radioactive source to contrast how a Physicist does approach such a phenomenon (in contrast to other types of scientists).

Attendance is free but pre-registration is required (ignore the program that has been moved to our Physics Day; you can join that as well). You can also contact us for any questions you may have.

Schedule

  • 14:00: Reception and collect visitor badges.
  • 14:00 – 15:00, what is Physics, discussing classic and modern trends.
  • 15:00 – 16:00, an example, $\gamma$ radiations.
  • 16:00 – 17:00, Physics at Wolverhampton, why it's different, why it's better, what's going to happen there.

At 17:00, tea will be served to close the meeting and exchange in a more informal, relaxed fashion.
