I recently finished Walter Isaacson’s biography of Albert Einstein. The biography covers not just Einstein’s intellectual achievements, but also his anti-war activism, marital difficulties and celebrity. However, I wanted to share just the one part I found most interesting: how did Einstein learn?

A lecture on quantum information and spacetime by John Preskill, the Richard P. Feynman Professor of Theoretical Physics at CalTech.

The purpose of the Oxford Women in Physics Society is to promote career development of women in physics while providing a welcoming support network. We aim to enhance the experience of women working in the department through increased interaction with peers, mentors, and role models.

On these pages you can find out a bit more about us. We host regular events for physicists in Oxford to meet each other and interact with prominent women in physics. We've also been thrilled to host the Conference for Undergraduate Women in Physics UK for the past two years. You can find us on Twitter and Facebook too.

Conversations about science with theoretical physicist Matt Strassler

Search from careers in aerospace engineering, bioscience, business support and operations, chemistry and chemical engineering, computer science, cybersecurity, electrical engineering, geoscience, materials science, mechanical engineering, nuclear engineering, physics, and systems engineering.

Sandia National Laboratories is operated and managed by Sandia Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lockheed Martin Corporation. Sandia Corporation operates Sandia National Laboratories as a contractor for the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) and supports numerous federal, state, and local government agencies, companies, and organizations.

Statistical Mechanics: Algorithms and Computations is a Coursera online course taught by Werner Krauth, Director of the French National Center for Scientific Research, and created by École Normale Supérieure. The course covers a lot of modern physics (classical and quantum) from basic computer programs that you will download, generalize, or write from scratch, discuss, and then hand in. Join in if you are curious (but not necessarily knowledgeable) about algorithms, and about the deep insights into science that you can obtain by the algorithmic approach.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science is the lead federal agency supporting fundamental scientific research for energy and the Nation’s largest supporter of basic research in the physical sciences.

The Office of Science portfolio has two principal thrusts: direct support of scientific research and direct support of the development, construction, and operation of unique, open-access scientific user facilities.
