APS
Conference for Undergraduate Women in Physics
at Rutgers, The State
University of New Jersey
January 21-23, 2022 |
Physics is
phun! |
All meetings supported by the American Physical Society (APS), including
this one, are expected to observe the APS code of
conduct, which states that all participants "will conduct themselves in a
professional manner that is welcoming to all participants and free from any
form of discrimination, harassment, or retaliation." If you become aware of
any code of conduct violation associated with this meeting, please report
it through at least one of the channels listed here.
The conference program is still being developed, but is expected to include
four plenary lectures by outstanding women physicists and a keynote
address given by 2018 Nobel Prize winner Donna Strickland. We have compiled
brief biographies of our confirmed speakers,
panelists, and workshop leaders, which we will update (along with the details
of the program below) as our planning advances and the conference approaches.
Unless noted, activities will take place at the Busch Student Center and the
Physics Lecture Hall, which are within walking distance on Rutgers University's
Busch Campus.
All times indicated are Eastern
Standard Time.
A description of the expected workshops can be found here. The program below will be updated in the near future.
