The Department of Physics in Syracuse University’s College of Arts and Sciences is delighted to announce the return of the The Tuesday Night Lecture Series.  This series builds on the Saturday Morning Physics Lecture Series that was partially supported by a grant from the Internships in Public Science Education program of the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Directorate of the National Science Foundation. The lectures are free and designed for all those people who have ever wondered how the world around them works.

The Syracuse University Physics Department includes many internationally known scientists who are involved in research in some of the most fascinating topics in physics today. The purpose of this new program is to share the content and excitement of "doing physics" with the wider Syracuse community through lectures about cutting-edge research done by Physics Department's faculty and through tutorial presentations highlighting important physical phenomena that have been in the news.

The lectures often include demonstrations of physical phenomena designed to help visualize and understand the concepts that are being discussed. A question and answer period follows each lecture.

This lecture series is organized by

Professor Gianfranco Vidali (it links to his home page).
