2009 UR student symposium highlights undergraduate research

Austin student symposium 2009

Last week all UR students doing original research had a chance to share their work with others at Richmond during the 2009 student symposium.  As usual, the physics department was well represented, with nine students presenting posters of their work, on topics ranging from cosmology to biological physics.  Afterwards, the Society of Physics Students organized “Sky Watch,” during which all of the symposium participants could get a taste of astronomy and see the night sky through telescopes.
