STARTING NOW! Weighing Electricity with Prof. Purcell - April 29, 2024 - 3pm

by Clarke, Dionne L

Dear Physics Community, Please join us today at 3:00 pm for a special presentation by Physics student Diego Panzardi Serra ’24. We will have an afternoon break following the presentation. ***** Weighing Electricity with Prof. Purcell Monday, April 29, 2024 Jefferson 450 3:00 – 3:30 pm Many physicists fondly recall the classic textbook, Electricity and Magnetism by Edward M. Purcell. Far fewer are familiar with the teaching lab apparatus which Prof. Purcell designed to match problems in his textbook. We describe two such apparatuses, an electrostatic balance and an electromagnetic balance, matching problems 3.20 and 7.25 in the first edition of the text. Physics student Diego Panzardi Serra ’24 will demonstrate the use of the apparatuses. ***** Sylvia Vieira Events Coordinator Department of Physics, Harvard University Lyman Lab.

Congratulations to Prof. Howard Georgi

by C. Vafa, Physics Chair, Harvard

Dear Physics Community, Please join me in congratulating Howard Georgi, Mallinckrodt Professor of Physics and Harvard College Professor, on his election to the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) fellow for elucidating the role of symmetries in quantum field theory. In addition to Prof. Georgi, seven other Harvard faculty are among the 502 AAAS 2023 class of fellows. AAAS Fellows are a distinguished cadre of scientists, engineers and innovators who have been recognized for their achievements across disciplines, from research, teaching, and technology, to administration in academia, industry and government, to excellence in communicating and interpreting science to the public. In a tradition stretching back to 1874, these individuals are elected annually by the AAAS Council. Newly elected Fellows are recognized for their extraordinary achievements at the ceremonial Fellows Forum, a time-honored event at the AAAS Annual Meeting where they are presented with a certificate and blue and gold rosette. You can read more about AAAS Fellows at AAAS Honorary Fellows | American Association for the Advancement of Science<https://www.aaas.org/fellows>. Best regards, Cumrun Vafa Department Chair Hollis Professor of Mathematicks and Natural Philosophy
