Upcoming Meetings and a Workshop

We meet on January 14th, and we are trying a new time, just a bit later, at 9:00. We’ll meet at J.D. Garcia’s house for potluck breakfast and to share new physics demos and toys you got for the holidays. Also, Chris Ubing will be showing some rotation labs using the IO/lab. 

A couple of other items:

For our February meeting, which is February 4th, our friend Jim Housely will be visiting from Alaska. He can carry two suitcases worth of physics equipment and is taking requests. If you’ve seen his demos, you know what you can ask for, but I don’t have a complete list. You can email him at jmhousley@aol.com if you have questions, or requests. If you have something in mind that you would like a demo of, lots of times he already has something similar. He has lots of pressure and vacuum demos, and also sets of density blocks. If you email him, I think he could help you articulate what you might like to have.

DaNel Hogan has asked me to pass on a workshop opportunity for medical physics. It’s a two or three day meeting in Phoenix, free to teachers, with a theme of medical physics. See the flyer below. Also, here is a website: https://www.xcdsystem.com/wmsym/files/2017%20Teacher%20Workshop%20Flyer.pdf. The title is Exploring our Radioactive World, and it looks great, and DaNel says it is an exceptional workshop. Oh, and it’s free to teachers.

Hope to see you on the 14th. I’ll email next week with directions, etc.
