The Australian Institute of Physics International Women in Physics Lecture Series was instituted to celebrate the contribution of women to advances in physics. Under this scheme, a woman who has made a significant contribution in a field of physics will give a series of lectures, including a Public Lecture arranged by each participating branch of the AIP. The Lecture will be of interest to a non-specialist physics audience and is expected to increase awareness among students and their families of the possibilities offered by continuing to study physics.
Prof. Deborah Kane of MacQuarie University is the 2006 AIP Women-in-Physics Lecturer. She will be touring AIP State Branches throughout 2006 to present aspects of her research and promote Physics as a career choice.
