Time for a Board Meeting of the Jonathan F. Reichert Foundation, an ambitious non-profit working to establish programs and grants for hands-on instructional laboratories in physics, beyond the first year of university https://jfreichertfoundation.org

In preparation for tomorrow’s celebration of Illinois Wesleyan’s annual “Nerd Shirt Day,” today I am wearing a shirt from the SPIE national organization, featuring a shark with “firkin’ lasers on its head!”

Please share these (4) job announcements at Illinois Wesleyan (a nice, small, undergraduate-only institution). We have (2) tenure-track openings in Physics and (2) tenure-track openings in Chemistry: https://www.iwu.edu/human-resources/job-openings/

Join us! Here's a link to the web page listing current jobs at IWU: https://www.iwu.edu/human-resources/job-openings/

#ITeachPhysics During this academic year, Illinois Wesleyan University is searching for TWO (yes, 2!) tenure-track Physics faculty members, who will begin their appointments in Fall, 2024. Bring a friend! https://www.iwu.edu/human-resources/job-openings/2023-24-assistant-professor-physics.html

We are still soliciting applications for the (2) tenure track positions! (The visiting positions for this Fall have now been filled.)

#ITeachPhysics Who should you nominate, to be recognized for contributions to our community? https://www.aapt.org/programs/awards/

#ITeachPhysics Help spread the word! We have approval to search for (2) tenure-line hires, and (2) visiting professors, for the Illinois Wesleyan Physics Department. It's a nice community to join! https://www.iwu.edu/human-resources/job-openings/

#ITeachPhysics AAPT Early Bird Rate ends in six days! Join us in Sacramento! (P.S., if you'd like take the train, the Amtrak station is a few blocks away from the conference hotels, which are the Sheraton Sacramento or Hyatt Regency Sacramento) https://www.aapt.org/Conferences/SM2023/registration_sm23.cfm

I highly recommend this community of physics lab instructors "Beyond the First Year" of university

@anoved @nyrath Monitoring sets of pulsars (some are more stable than atomic clocks) allows “galactic-scale interferometry” useful for long-time-scale gravitational events, e.g., https://nanograv.org/science/overview

@j_bertolotti Because my father spent his career working with those under the age of 18 who'd gotten in trouble with the law, I've encouraged interested students to look into programs such as this one: https://educationjustice.net/

The extended deadline is TOMORROW (April 21)

#ITeachPhysics This is going to be an incredible lead-in satellite conference to AAPT-SM23 https://advlab.org/page-18230

#ITeachPhysics ...By April 14 (which is SOON!), please let us know of something useful that you could share with others: https://aapt.org/Conferences/SM2023/Call_for_Presentations.cfm

#SPIE We continue to accept abstracts, for the 20th-anniversary OTOM, but time for doing so is drawing QUITE short. Please upload yours ASAP!
