FROm the head of department

The department of physics and technology is proud to be hosting the biggest Euro Physics Fun conference so far. The grand opening will take place on Monday, April 16, but for all of us who are not registered and still intend to participate, it is Saturday, April 21 which counts as the start, see more below. Show Physics will also be a part of the conference, open for all, and all you have to do is take your kids and grandparents and show up at VilVite!

Have a great weekend,
Geir Anton

News and general information

 

  IFT seminar next Friday

All are welcome to attend the open seminar where Danas RidikasIAEA holds a lecture entitled:

·       Fukushima – One year after the catastrophe

Friday, March 30, at 14:15, Auditorium B. Coffee, tea and cake from 14:00.

  Physics show April 21.

Physics Show Bergen and EuroPhysicsFun arrange the anual conference ShowPhysics at IFT from April 16-21. Some 50 young physicists from the whole of Europe will gather here to discuss and improve their ways of distributing knowledge about physics. The new lessons will be presented live with a grand (and free) physics show at VilVite on Saturday, April 21, from 11-15 o’clock. You will definitely enjoy this one, so book a date already today! The participants have requested over 400 litres of liquid nitrogen for 4 hours with the physics show. The larger part of it will be used by PhysiScope from Geneve who will bring with them their "levitating surf"; a board which soars upwards with the help of superleaders over a 6 meters long magnetic rail. We hope to see you there!

Physics Show Bergen and EuroPhysicsFun

  Pub lecture in h-bar

All are welcome to the Pub lecture where Professor Jan Petter Hansen will hold a lecture entitled:

·      Climate research – seen from the perspective of quantum mechanics

Tuesday, March 27, at 19:00 at h-bar. This is both for the students and employees – and there will also be possibility for expressing your own opinions on the topic.

  Conversion of the parking scheme at UoB 2012

University Council has adopted the conversion of parking scheme at UoB, which among other things implies that the number of parking spaces will be reduced by 30% by the end of 2012. This includes and will include also the parking places right outside Allégaten 55. Read more here.

PhD

 

  Trial Lecture

MSc Mathieu Ichard will hold a PhD trial lecture with the following title:

  • Generation and development of the Tohoku-oki tsunami on 11 March 2011

 Monday, March 26, at 13:15 in room 292, IFT

STUDENTS

 

  Important info about the Bachelor Room

It seems that the Bachelor Room has proven to be a success. There is constantly a great number of you students working there and preparing for your seminars – which is fully in accord with the room’s purpose. We are indeed very pleased! However, we are not pleased with the fact that garbage left on desks and the floor instead of the garbage bins. There is no need to go into the subject any deeper, except to emphasize that this cannot continue. We therefore ask all of you using the Bachelor Room to contribute to the room’s tidiness and good appearance.

  h-bar

We would like to remind you that h-bar is open every Friday from 19:00-01:00.

H-bar is run by department’s Fagutvalget and is primarily aimed at department students – although employees are also welcome!

 

On Tuesday, March 27 at 19:00 there will be arranged a pub lecture with the topic Climate research – seen from the perspective of quantum mechanics at h-bar.
