Our special PHAS Monday Tea event next week celebrates International LGBTQ+ in STEM day! Come join us for some collegial socializing and tasty rainbow treats! This popular social is for all students, staff and faculty in UBC physics! bit.ly/40MAapp UBC Science #physics

How can we develop concepts that bridge cell dynamics of individual cells with their collective behaviour? Join us with Joachim Rädler to learn more from this expert in single-cell imaging! phas.ubc.ca/biophysical-mo… UBC Science UBC Engineering @ubctriumflab @ubcgradschool UBC GSS

Generative language models like GPT now demonstrate emergence behaviour, which interestingly enough, we can leverage to help us with today's quantum devices! Join us to learn more! phas.ubc.ca/language-model… UBC Science UBC Engineering TRIUMF @ubcgradschool #quantum #physics

Save the date! The Faraday Children's Science Show is happening on Sunday, December 8th in HEBB Theatre!

We understand the observed structure of the universe; however, it's main constituents (like inflation, dark matter and dark energy) are still a mystery. What tools do we have to help? bit.ly/4gaikRK UBC Science UBC Engineering Michael Smith Labs @triumflab @ubcgradschool #astronomy

From all of us at the UBC Department of Physics & Astronomy, here's to a great holiday season! Thank you students, staff, faculty and extended physics family - we truly appreciate everything you do. @ubc UBC Science UBC Engineering Michael Smith Labs @triumflab #physics #astronomy

Hey students! Want to experience what it's like to study physics in graduate school? Try PHYS 409B: an experimental physics course exploring quantum and classical physics. Get creative and build something! Registration still open for Term2. #physics #experimentalphysics #quantum

The NASA Psyche mission under PI Lindy Elkins-Tanton is set to visit the metallic asteroid (16) Psyche, as it seems to be the exposed metallic core of an early planet What will we learn from this? Join us to learn more! bit.ly/4h79SD1 UBC Science @triumflab [ Astronomy News ]

One property of biological processes is its ability to reconfigure and adapt dynamically based on a continuous consumption of matter or energy. How could such properties be infused into next-generation autonomous materials? bit.ly/4fRtIkA UBC Science UBC Engineering

Gravitational waves, neutron-star smashups - what's not to love about astrophysics? The GW170817 event detection answered many questions but cosmic ripples are still a mystery. Join us with Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz to learn more! bit.ly/40uzinh UBC Science @ubc #astronomy

Tomorrow Friday January 24th, 2025 - Join us for the 2025 Planetary Parade viewing party of Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Venus from the roof of HEBB! Hosted by the Department of Physics & Astronomy and the UBC ASTRO Club phas.ubc.ca/2025-planetary… @ubc UBC Science #astronomy

A checklist for a habitable planet would include an atmosphere, oxygen, water...and the capability to host life. Where can we find such a place? Join us with Ilaria Pascucci to learn more about planetary systems! UBC Science UBC Engineering @triumflab #astronomy #physics

Superconductors (materials which allow current to flow through them with 0 resistance and therefore 0 power loss) have been around for more than 100 years. What do layered nickelates have to offer? phas.ubc.ca/superconductiv… UBC Science #triumflab Michael Smith Labs #physics #superconductors

It's a bird, it's a plane, it's a ... COMET! Amazing to behold, our current understanding of comet evolution is the Oort cloud, a giant bubble-like shell which surrounds our solar system. Come learn more! UBC Science @ubc @triumflab #astronomy #physics

Laser light can be used to control the motion of atoms and molecules, allowing us to study exotic molecular interactions and their surrounding quantum environments. Join us with Dr. Valery Milner! bit.ly/42IPxA3 UBC Science UBC Engineering Michael Smith Labs @triumflab #physics

We have 2 ASTRO talks next Monday Feb 10th: on star formation and galaxy bulges, and the second on the slow demise of the Hubble Space Telescope. Bring your questions for PHAS postdoc Anan Lu and Outer Space Institute, Joanne Armstrong. bit.ly/3EmMqnp #astronomy #physics
