My name is David Jacome and I'm the chapter president of Society of the Physics Student at Saint Peter's College. So far, our chapter is trying to organize a conference for next year, and working to get some students involved in the society. This summer, I'm currently working on a project with the American Chemical Society entitled, "Capillary Plasma Electrode". I have to say it's quite fun to work with something that most physicists have spend years trying to understand. So far, my research group have obtained some great results from working with this project. One of the main goals is to understand the stability of a CPE, and the plasma modes. Anyway, if you want to hear more about it, please email me. Once again, it's great to be a part of this forum, and I hope to see you all here at the college next year for the 2009 SPS Zone 3 & 7 Conference.
Hello! I am a physical chemist with a strong interest in laser spectroscopy and nonlinear optics. I graduated from the University of Maryland. Like Blakesley, I am an assistant editor, so I hope to see everyone around.
It's great to see so much discussion in this thread. I'll have to check out the "light around the world" project - that sounds fascinating!
My names Blakesley and I'm a recent physics math graduate from the University of Louisville. I'm currently at UW Madison where I'll be starting my astrophysics phd in the Fall. I am very active in SPS and think it a great group to be involved in, both at the local and national level. I am one of the assistant editors of the Nucleus...so you'll be seeing me around the forum a lot. Take care and great to meet you all!
Hello, My name is Lisa and I am new to this website. I am an older student whith 3 teenagers, 2 of which are in colllege. I just graduated with my bachelors degree in Physics in May. I am working as a systems analyst and have done some internship work. I was active in our SPS outreach program when I could spare the time.
hello fellow fans of physics. I am currently an undergraduate at The University of Southern Maine. I started my college path a little bit later in life, I'm 47, but hey, I figure I may have a few good years left in me. I am going into Cosmology and Astrophysics. I have this burning desire to to understand Dr. Hawkings theories. Eventually I will get my teaching certificate and I want to teach high school physics/science at my old high school. I enjoy reading R. Feynmans thoughts and of his teaching techniques, I hope I can keep his sense of humor in my teachings and also make this stuff informative and entertaining to my future students.
I'm a 6th year grad student at Rice Univ. in Houston. I study Rydberg atom interactions with surfaces (Au, Si, GaAs, etc). Had to register for the nifty internet picture contest. Looks like I've been missing out on a few other contests as well. I look forward to participating more around here.

Hi! My name is Anna, and I'm an undergrad physics major (3rd year) at Virginia Tech. I'm definitely planning on going to graduate school and probably getting a Ph.D. in this stuff... so I'll be in school for a long time. This year, I'm the SPS treasurer, and I'll be doing lots of undergrad research and outreach stuff, so it'll be fun. :)

Hi. I'm a member of the American Physical Society Committee on the Status of Women in Physics. We have compiled a survey of graduate programs in physics that should be helpful to those interested in assessing the climate for women at various graduate schools. The response has been terrific--over 109 schools have submitted entries, some very detailed. You can look at the site at http://cswp.catlla.com/results.php
