Cavendish Laboratory Physics Outreach

🚀 We are set to welcome around 2000 students for Physics at Work from 17-19 September! 🎉 With 15 amazing exhibitors, there is a mix of familiar and new exhibits for students to explore the multiple career paths a Physics degree can offer. Stay tuned! 👀

And it's a wrap for Physics at Work 2024! 🎉 Hundreds of students from 46 schools across the country enjoyed demos from modelling for flying drones in Mars to smoke rings. AWE defended both their Teacher & Student Choice titles!🥇 See you in 2025 for our 40th Anniversary edition.

🔭 @cambridge_astro are celebrating their 50th anniversary with a trio of free public talks. Hear from leading scientists and researchers including Dame Jocelyn Bell Burnell: ast.cam.ac.uk/ioa-50/public-… #Space #Astronomy

There's a new episode of #PeopleDoingPhysics coming up. We turned the tables and interviewed our co-host and fouding team member @seizagirre, before she goes off to pursue new adventures🥲 Tune in on Thursday anywhere you get podcasts to hear about Simone's journey into physics.

It is with heavy hearts that we hear of the passing of the great Professor Peter Higgs. The @CambridgeHEP group and all at the Cavendish extend our deepest sympathies to his family and friends. Photo @CERN

The cheerfulness of our guest Oleg Brandt @Brandt_OE in this new #PeopleDoingPhysics episode is contagious. Tune in to hear how research can be playful, how role models can change one's life, and how not finding something can still mean succeeding. 🔊 Listen on any podcast app!

It’s been a great night that our branch @IOPEast held the 3 Minute Wonder (3MW) competition tonight at the @DeptofPhysics. Congrats to Dr Jonathan Bar David the winner and Ana R. Hernandez Rodriguez the runner-up. Many thanks go to the committee members (iop.org/physics-commun…).

Unfortunately our speaker for tonight, Dr Sam Rigby, has been unable to get out of Sheffield. The Cambridge Physics Center lecture will go ahead as planned, but he will be joining us remotely.

@Cem__Dogan_ @DeptofPhysics If you are looking for something more in-depth, you can find our Cambridge Physics Centre lectures here: outreach.phy.cam.ac.uk/cpc-recordings…

@DeptofPhysics diffraction videosunu izledim. biraz basite kaçılmış. daha fazla detay verilebilirdi.

Over on TikTok and YouTube, we’re demonstrating simple yet fascinating physics concepts in our latest 'Experiment with Jacob' series🌟Check it out and subscribe to these channels (just search Cavendish Laboratory) to see more video content from us!🚀#ScienceMagic #StayTuned🔬✨

Unfortunately Janaan Hussein is unable to give her CPC talk on 18th January, but Dr Lisa Jardine-Wright, OBE has kindly stepped in to take her place with a talk on the A-Z of Diffraction: Discovering the Structure of DNA. See buff.ly/3oYKk3l for more information,

New year, new episode of #PeopleDoingPhysics 🎉 Meet Richard King, Cambridge born and bred and Cavendish's very own Undergraduate Lab Manager. Listen now wherever you get your podcast for a deep dive into Cambridge's life and a special guest appearance 🦆 @OfCavendish

Wishing a Merry Christmas to those who celebrate, and a relaxing break to those who don't!

@LouiseShanahan reminds us it's okay not to have it all figured out in school. Louise realised at university that she had to do physics in order to pursue her research interest in Biomedical physics later. #BiomedicalPhysics #BehindCavendishResearch

The third of this year's CPC lectures in taking place next Thursday, come along to the Cavendish to hear Margaret Reynolds talk about the physics behind passive house design. buff.ly/3oYKk3l

New episode of #PeopleDoingPhysics coming soon 🙌 With our guest Emily Roe, freshly arrived from Industry, we're talking about the culture shift between industry and university, pretty gems, lift trucks and much more. 🔊 This episode will be released on 7 December #StayTuned

It was an excellent session with a wonderful group of young people, and many thanks to @MeteAtature for adding a bit of a star factor!

The second of our Cambridge Physics Centre lectures is taking place next Tuesday. Come and hear @SarahBohndiek talk about using light to diagnose cancer. See here for more information: buff.ly/3tWCHyJ

Lecture on 'Rare Beauty – Seeking New Physics at #LHCb,' by Dr. Harry Cliff, Oct 5, 6 pm, Cavendish Laboratory. Explore hints of a new force in #ParticlePhysics. Pre-lecture Interactive problem-solving and refreshments at 5 pm, no booking needed. Join us! outreach.phy.cam.ac.uk/programme/cpc

Bella’s brain red haemoglobin levels being tested whilst she does some tricky mental maths problems @DeptofPhysics #physicsatwork #BGSYear10 #BGSPhysics

The momentum continues on Day 2 of our 39th Physics at Work Exhibition! 🚀 Few of the exciting demos from the day on Light & brain activity, blast wave measurements, and solar cell energy can be seen here. Inspiring young minds! #PhysicsAtWork 🌟🔬🌞 @TheGSAL @SharplesSchool
