[vip-all] Talents
by Ulrik Ingerslev Uggerhøj 21 Jun '18

21 Jun '18

Dear all, As a follow-up for the residential meeting at Vejle, before which I only had response from 2 groups, I kindly ask you to - groupwise, if possible - inform me in writing about your planned activities in connection with talent students: "Please also take responsibility for organizing suggestions for host groups for “Talent students” (i.e. students being admitted to the talent program from their second year); such groups may consist of the entire topical group or one or more subgroups." Please include in your (preferably brief) response which (sub-)groups you suggest, 5-10 keywords about the scientific content, and a bit about which competencies you expect the talent students may obtain from your programme (both the 'soft' such as presentation skills, and the 'hard' such as programming in LabVIEW), and a suggestion for the final evaluation, to be done at the end of the 1/2 year (which product?).

[vip-all] GPC seminar today at 15:15
by Karin Vittrup 18 Nov '15

18 Nov '15

General Physics Colloquium Wed. 18th at 15:15 in Fys. Aud. Speaker: Dr. Natasha G. Holmes, Stanford University Title: Re-thinking intro physics labs: Teaching and assessing critical thinking Abstract: The goals of instructional lab courses have been highly debated for decades. While many courses still focus on reinforcing physics content (which is also presented in lectures and other tutorial sessions), it is clear that labs are a unique space for students to learn about how experiments work in physics. In my talk, I will present work on both of these aspects. I will describe a recent study that evaluates whether labs contribute measurably to how students learn physics content. I will also describe an introductory physics lab course structure that focuses on developing students' experimentation and critical thinking skills. The lab structure relies on iterative cycles of making, interpreting, and acting on comparisons between data and models. By focusing the iterations on improving measurements, students explore the limits of physical models in the real world and engage in the evaluation and refinement of these models. I will describe our controlled research study that implemented and evaluated this framework, which found that students adopted these behaviors and continued to use them even after instruction to do so had been removed. Bio: Dr. Natasha G. Holmes is a postdoctoral researcher in the Physics Department at Stanford University. She received her B.Sc. in Physics from the University of Guelph and her PhD in Physics at the University of British Columbia. For her dissertation work, she developed and evaluated a pedagogical framework for teaching and learning in physics lab courses that focuses on the iterative and reflective nature of experimentation. She focuses on developing effective ways to assess students' critical thinking and experimentation skills in these courses, both through evaluating students' lab work and also through the development of a diagnostic assessment. She is currently working to adapt that framework to other lab courses and contexts (including upper-level courses in physics and chemical engineering) and to further evaluate what is and is not learned in different structures of lab courses and in undergraduate research. She is also interested in how the hands-on and collaborative nature of lab courses interacts with issues of gender and diversity. Coffee and cake will be served at 15:05

CMCI-15: networks and optimization, 20 November 2015 The AU Network for Computer Modelling of Complex Interactions was established in 2014 to combine expertise from a broad range of fields to develop novel approaches for the study of intelligent, dynamically evolving systems. In the CMCI-15 workshop we will present preliminary results on the first joint projects on e.g. swarm-based optimization of quantum physics, individual and collective problem solving, and the emergence of creole languages. In addition, invited speakers will present their applications of networks and optimization. The physics highlights will be Dr. Siomau presenting Collective Dynamics of Quantum Networks with Applications to Machines learning and our local Prof. Bjørk Hammer presenting his work on Genetic search algorithms in quantum physics. Attendance to the full event (at http://cmci.dk/cmci-15/) for free lunch and cake, or show up at selected talks. STBYG2 service mail After the joining of STBYG1 and STBYG2 the number of inquiries to the STBYG2 service mail has increased considerably. You are therefore asked to indicate the building and room numbers or department in the subject line, when writing to the service mail. This could e.g. be: Lamps building 1521,122. By doing so, you enable us to distribute and carry out the tasks more quickly to everybody's satisfaction. Updates to AU access card databases - your card might need an update Right after the autumn break, AU began updating the access control system for buildings on Aarhus Campus, at Moesgaard and in Foulum. The process will continue until early 2016. Unfortunately, this means that the access cards of some employees will stop working properly.

[vip-all] GPC seminar today at 15:00 in 1531-113
by Karin Vittrup 13 Nov '15

13 Nov '15

General Physics Colloquium Fri. 13 November 15.00-16.00 in 1531-113 Title: Why Physics Is Still a Boys' Club Speaker: Meg Urry Abstract: Some 40 years after gender discrimination laws were passed in many developed countries, the physics profession remains dominated by white male scientists. The numbers of women and people of color lag far behind their representation in the population. Their absence means that the physics enterprise is not as strong as it could be-not only are we failing to capitalize on the available talent, but greater diversity is known to lead to greater innovation. Who knows where physics would lead were participation broadened? Moreover, the lack of gender equity is neither a mysterious nor intractable problem. Nearly all the criteria we use to judge excellence have been shown to be biased against women. I review the research on bias and suggest steps we can take to reduce it. Finally, given recent, highly visible cases of sexual harassment of students by professors, I talk about how to recognize and eliminate unprofessional behavior, so that the workplace allows everyone to thrive. Coffee and cake will be served at 2.30 pm

[vip-all] VIGTIGT: Rygeregler / smoking regulations
by Ruth Laursen 12 Nov '15

12 Nov '15

Via den Fysiske APV samt efterfølgende klager over røggener i kontorer, har sikkerhedsgruppen for området drøftet henvendelserne. Vi har endvidere fået Bygningstjenesten til at tjekke ventilationsanlæg samt luftindtag, og der er foretaget kontrol i bygningen. Det viser sig at der ryges på flere af vore altaner, hvilket kan forklare de røggener, der opstår på kontorerne. Det indskærpes derfor, at det fremover vil være strengt forbudt at ryge på altanerne i vore bygninger. Askebægre vil blive fjernet omgående. Fremover må der kun ryges udenfor bygningen ved bygning 1525 og 1522 (nord). ******************* The safety group has discussed the descriptions in the physical workplace assessment and complaints regarding nuisance from smoke in offices. Thus, Building Service has been instructed to inspect the ventilation system, as well as the air intake, and check the buildings. It turns out that several of our balconies are used for smoking, which can explain the smoke nuisance in the offices. Therefore, we emphasise that from now on it will be strictly prohibited to smoke on the balconies of our buildings. Ashtrays will be removed immediately. Smoking is only allowed outside by building 1525 and 1522 (north).
