Schrödinger's Chats

Schrödinger's Chats are fun and casual gatherings for Oxy students, faculty, and staff to mingle. A safe and welcoming environment to discuss physics, share your favorite physics joke — or drop esoteric physics terminology.  Don't worry, you're amongst friends! This event is open to all. Grab your lunch or snack on the light spread of goodies we will have available--You need not be a physics major to join us!

Each Chat includes an informal 10-15 minute presentation on any physics topic of interest to the presenter — or to you!  Please submit questions:
