The University of Nebraska-Lincoln Department of Physics and Astronomy will host its first Women in Physics Conference Oct. 30-Nov. 1.
The purpose of this event is to bring together outstanding undergraduate researchers in physics. During the three-day conference, students will take part in a unique opportunity to expand upon their current research experiences, interact with physics students from other universities, and attend scientific talks given by invited physicists from other Midwestern universities.
One of the highlights of the conference will be the opportunity for successful and experienced researchers in physics to mentor undergraduates. There will be panel discussions and presentations that focus on offering advice and information to guide young women in their physics careers.
The conference will be on UNL's City Campus. For more information, please visit the conference Web site, www.physics.unl.edu/~wophy or contact Professor Axel Enders by e-mail.
