Welcome to my monthly newsletter to people around the country with an interest in physics, following a big showing by physics in National Science Week. Congratulations to all involved in holding events—I know of at least 120 physics events that took place.
This month I report on FASTS, the Square Kilometre Array bid, Eureka Prize and L’Oreal For Women in Science winners, upcoming activities for the International Year of Astronomy, and new places to place or find physics jobs on the net.
I also have details of science prizes and conferences and the many physics-related activities undertaken by the AIP, universities and other organisations. The Women in Physics Lecturer for 2010 is now open for nomination (until 15 October), and this year is open to women working in Australia or overseas. There are some terrific branch activities, including those of the Victorian branch Education Committee.
So that they stand out in the long list of conferences, new entries are now marked. One newly listed conference is 2010 International Conference on Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (ICONN 2010), Sydney, for which abstracts close 18 September.
More on all of these below.
In another format change, I have moved the news items up closer to the top of the newsletter, following the AIP branch activities. The Vic branch education activities, physics activities for the general public, and the university and other institution seminars are still listed, but towards the end of the newsletter. You can now read the news without having to scroll down past these long lists of events.
The AIP executive will be meeting at DSTO (Salisbury) on Wednesday 2 September. The executive is holding meetings around different states and institutions in order to make contact with members and to promote the AIP’s objectives.
I am also calling for expressions of interest for a new editor for the AIP journal, Australian Physics, and a minutes secretary for AIP executive meetings. Details below.
If you want to contact me regarding AIP or other physics matters please email aip_president@aip.org.au.
