Physics in the Pub - WA Edition

On a chilly winter night, local physicists are on hand to warm you up, with high powered lasers, and throbbing pulsars.

The researchers are getting creative about sharing their work, so grab a drink and a feed at the UWA Refectory and get ready to hear all about the amazing work being done at the local institutions.

MC Phil Dooley will keep the evening moving along - no long words, or scary equations, just a lot of fun!

THE LINE UP

Ian Kemp (ICRAR/Curtin) has some bad news - he reckons we’re never going to meet any aliens. Ohhhh :-(

Fiona Panther (Forrest/UWA Physics) has a cosmic stethoscope, and studies the beating heart of the universe: pulsars.

Adelle Goodwin (Curtin) likes watching stars being destroyed by supermassive black holes. Don’t we all!

Jeremy Bourhill (UWA/EQUS/CDM) is commercialising research using quantum systems to look for dark matter. But who would buy that? The pharmaceutical industry, of course.

There a lot of things on this planet. A lot of planets around the sun. A lot of suns in this galaxy, and a lot of galaxies in the Universe. Sabine Bellstedt (ICRAR) is trying to take a picture of all of them. (She's doing a galaxy survey)

Ryan van den Berg (Curtin) has come up with much better way to teach physics - get ready to learn everything, right from scratch.

Aryan Gupta (UWA) has a pitch for Hollywood: Physics! All the stories, the characters - and he’s even got the cast sorted.

Jacob Martin (Curtin) looks for natural hydrogen using Raman lidar. To really understand Raman, he visited the birthplace of the Indian scientist.

Composer Claude Debussy was inspired by the moon to write Clair de Lune. Imagine if he had seen the other 200 or more moons in the solar system, asks Dr Phil Dooley (ANU | Phil Up On Science)

Mark Beal has written a poem that sums up the night, and all of physics.
Physics in the Pub is coming to Perth - this is your chance to watch some local talent get up on stage and blow some minds! Whether they're presenting research or some everyday aspect of Physics, they've each got eight minutes to get creative and share their love of physics.

Grab a chair, some friends, a drink and a bite to eat and watch the show. the action starts at 6pm, get there from 5:30pm to secure your seats.
