The University of Dar es Salaam and the Institute of Physics, and co-sponsored by the Optical Society, are jointly organising a four-day workshop for students and their science teachers from five schools in Dar es Salaam. The workshop is specifically designed for form 6 students (aged 17-18) who have an interest in science and would like to learn more about what can be achieved with a science background.

Further information: Today nuclear power plants use fission to power the national grid, producing tonnes of radioactive waste every year. In this talk you will learn how scientists plan to use fusion power, the same process that powers the Sun, to provide a safer and cleaner alternative to fission.

Are you a physics PhD or postdoc who knows a career in academia isn’t for you, but you are unsure what to do next? Then this webinar is for you. 

Aimed at female early-career researchers who want to stay in physics, but move outside academia. It will focus on the what employers look for and how to apply this criteria to your applications.

Members and physicists in business are invited to attend this exciting town meeting to shape an IOP special interest group which will support entrepreneurs and small-medium sized enterprises taking physics-based ideas, products and services to market. The proposed group will enable members to build supportive networks, share knowledge and explore collaborations as well as access business support, finance and affordable workspace.

Further information: Entropy is one of the most fascinating concepts introduced in physics in the last two centuries. Keeping track of its value enables one to discriminate past events from future ones or, in other words, to keep an eye on the so-called "arrow of time". This unique feature comes at the cost of the notorious difficulty to grasp what entropy is all about or what it actually measures.

This conference aims to bring together microbiologists and biophysicists interested in using quantitative approaches for understanding antimicrobial resistance (AMR). AMR is a highly topical area with a growing biophysics community across a range of areas from instrumentation for interrogating living bacteria and their interaction with the host, to the application of statistical physics to the development of resistance genes.
