Prof Rosa and I I first met Prof. SRD Rosa face to face during my MPhil viva as he was one of my examiners. After couple of technical questions related to my research, he asked what were my future plans. I said, “I wanted to get married and do my PhD afterwards”. Somehow my answer made him laugh with the rest of the people in the board room of Faculty of Natural Sciences, The Open University of Sri Lanka. Afterwards, I did not meet him for a long time. I still wonder whether he could remember this incident as I was one of many students who faced viva with him as an examiner. Then during 2020, one of my good friends, Tharaka Gamage contacted me for an academic project to translate Prof. Rosa’s MCQ reviews of 20 years into English medium. I was really delighted and accepted the challenge to finish with several deadlines. Honestly, it was really a good learning experience to myself as a physicist as I was exposed to numerous solving methods of nearly 1000+ MCQs in GCE A/L Physics papers from 2000-2020 while doing the translation. As a student, I wondered why I could not get a good result to Physics during my three attempts of A/L. I found the answer during my undergraduate days even though I did A/L in bio stream. Physics is a hard subject. There is no doubt about it. Yet, you need to identify different solving techniques with your general knowledge. Sometimes you need to deviate from the conventional way of solving problems too. In fact, you need to be brave enough to think out of the box and justify your answer in a logical manner using your analytical skills. This is what I have been trying to teach as a lecturer to my Physics students using real world examples. In a way I am trying prove that “Life is more beautiful with Physics!” which has been my tagline for over a decade in Physics popularization.

𝗦𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘆: The course consists of a structured intensive 3 week program of 75 hours (5 hours/day) of theoretical lectures and computer laboratory exercises on advanced numerical methods for hyperbolic and nonlinear parabolic partial differential equations with applications in environmental engineering and science. The course covers standard explicit and flux-splitting finite volume methods for hyperbolic equations, semi-implicit finite volume methods for hyperbolic and nonlinear parabolic equations, e.g. low Mach and low Froude number flows, sediment transport (Exner equation), solidification (icing, Stefan model), ecomorphodynamic (vegetation growth, death, and mutual interaction with sediments). Special emphasis is put on practical implementation of the discussed numerical methods. 🔗 Further information (registration, program) can be found in the dedicated web page: https://lnkd.in/djvuwG5u 📧 or via contacting Prof. Ilya Peshkov at ilya.peshkov@unitn.it. #DICAM #shortcourse #numericalmethods #EnvironmentalEngineering #ELEDIA          UniTrento - DICAM Università di Trento

*** Creationism *** Education Statement from the American Physical Society Revision Approved by the Council on Nov. 10, 2021 The Council of the American Physical Society opposes proposals to require “equal time” for presentation in public school science classes of the biblical story of creation and the scientific theory of evolution. The issues raised by such proposals, while mainly focused on evolution, have important implications for the entire spectrum of scientific inquiry, including geology, physics and astronomy. In contrast to “Creationism,” the systematic application of scientific principles has led to a current picture of life, of the nature of our planet and of the universe, which while incomplete, is constantly being tested and refined by observation and analysis. This ability to construct critical experiments, whose results can require rejection of a theory, is fundamental to the scientific method. While our society must constantly guard against oversimplified or dogmatic descriptions of science in the education process, we must also resist attempts to interfere with the presentation of properly developed scientific principles in established guidelines for classroom instruction or in the development of scientific textbooks. We therefore strongly oppose any requirement for parallel treatment of scientific and non-scientific discussions in science classes. Scientific inquiry and religious beliefs are two distinct elements of the human experience. Attempts to present them in the same context can lead to harmful contradictions and misunderstandings of both. https://lnkd.in/gMhRBR3x

Assistant Professor of Physics Asja Radja has received a two-year $100,000 Integrated Research-Education Grant from the Charles E. Kaufman Foundation for her research on elucidating the “rules of living patterns” that lead to a variety of shapes and add to our understanding of how life builds itself. “My lab tries to identify the physical principles that biological systems have harnessed to pattern themselves. Think of a coral and all of its beautiful branches that extend into the water - in my lab, we develop experimental methods to figure out how these branches are patterned and potentially what their patterning optimizes." --Radja Read more about Radja's grant and the students involved in her research on our website: https://mawr.life/aqDV Photo: Radja, students, and colleagues celebrate the opening of her lab in spring 2023. #BrynMawrCollege #Physics

New assistant professor Denitsa Baykusheva to bridge the worlds of ultrafast physics and quantum mechanics. Excited to welcome ultrafast laser spectroscopy specialist Denitsa Baykusheva as one of the newest additions to our faculty. Denitsa aims to unify ultrafast physics and quantum mechanics by developing technology that explores the quantum-level interplay of light and matter. Reflecting ISTA's commitment to interdisciplinary work, her research spans physics, physical chemistry, and material science. 💬 "I envision building a team of up to ten highly motivated students and postdocs who are willing to take risks and perform very demanding research at the boundary of what is possible. The level of independence and technical support I receive at ISTA, as well as the solid representation of quantum physics in the campus community, are such that there are very few places like ISTA." – Denitsa Baykusheva Read more about her work here 🔗 https://bit.ly/3PWCxQd #ISTAustria #ISTAresearch #science #research #technology #BasicResearch #scientist #ScientistLife #campus #faculty #chemistry #physics #QuantumPhases #spectroscopy
