Discovery Lab Astronomy Night
Forecast uncertain for Saturday July 2. Will show up with activities at 8:30pm and take the chance to chat about astronomy.
If the sky is clear, that’s a bonus! (If not clear, we will pack it in about 10).

*****CANCELLED*****

Public Telescope Night is cancelled for tonight, July 1, due to the forecast for thunderstorms.

Two groups of @russcollege & @OHIOartandsci faculty received @NSF grants ($737k) to acquire major research equipment to further interdisciplinary, collaborative research and student training!

[BobcatsDiscover @BobcatsDiscover]

Based on observations & calculations, a team of scientists, including @OHIO_Physics prof Madappa Prakash, have provided new insight into a 33-year-old mystery.

There might be a neutron star hiding deep inside the remains of Supernova 1987A.

@ohiou astrophysicists Shiv Subedi, Zach Meisel, & Grant Merz identify the most critical nuclear physics uncertainties in the titanium-44 production process, providing a roadmap for the nuclear astrophysics community, Meisel says. Astrophysical Journal https://t.co/bkqjIHKlzJ

[Georgios Perdikakis @Georgios_Astro]

Some more publicity on our recent work that spinned off of the PhD of @GastisPanagioti. Experiment done at @OHIO_Physics Edwards accelerator laboratory. #LifeAtCentral https://t.co/pZOMfZyksv

"Vernon Alden was instrumental in @ohiou
becoming a Research II university. He established many doctoral
programs that enabled us to get that recognition. He was a key to this university
having the status it has."
David Ingram, @OHIO_Physics Chair

[American Physical Society @APSphysics]

A coalition of physics societies and groups will present a panel of physicists on the topic, "From Passion to Action: Levers and Tools for Making Physics Inclusive and Equitable." Learn how you can be a part of the solution. Register at https://t.co/G1QEHFL43U

What happened in the microseconds before the Big Bang?

@OHIO_Physics Daniel Phillips is leading a multi-university team on a $3.7M @NSF grant to create models to solve this and other nuclear physics questions. Stay tuned.

Good news for @ohiou physicist Zach Meisel and his graduate student team who worked on an experiment to determine how atomic nuclei are created in X-ray bursts (explosions) on the surface of of neutron stars. #mirrorsymmetry #nucleartheory https://t.co/Pu8bKBJDj8

@saraaspringer Hi Sara. Our Dept is reeling from OU’s decision not to reappoint Mark Lucas and Paul King due to purely financial reasons. Mark is at the heart of our service class support and outreach; Paul is a dedicated mentor to our nuclear graduate students.

A few years ago when asked about his professional achievements and how he would like to be remembered, @ohiou Emeritus Prof Breightenberger replied: "I haven't accomplished enough to blow my trumpet. I'd like to be remembered as a trustworthy mentor." https://t.co/6tIzWDILBF

@ohiou alumna and Texas A&M's CENTAUR postdoctoral research associate Cody Parker (PhD '16) took a road trip back to Athens and the Edwards Accelerator Lab. Hopefully she and her colleagues can safely return soon to finish the measurement. https://t.co/iN6ZjoWBzp

[BobcatsDiscover @BobcatsDiscover]

Emma Rice, @OUHTC @OHIO_Physics undergrad just found out she'll be doing her @doescience SULI summer internship w/ @BerkeleyLab virtually!

Her research will analyze data from a previously run experiment @NSCL GRETINA gamma ray detector.

Have an internship this summer? Tell us!
