The Effective Practices for Physics Programs (EP3) Guide is a handbook for how physics departments can build strong and inclusive programs. The EP3 Guide was created by a team co-led by Oregon State Physics Department Associate Head David Craig.

Read about the Guide in the article "Helping Physics Departments Thrive” featured in Physics Today, and visit the Guide itself at ep3guide.org.

Astronomers across Oregon gathered at this week for the inaugural Oregon Astronomy Research Symposium (OARS), organized by and UO Physics. Attendees from Oregon State included several physics professors, grad and undergrad students, showing that ducks and beavers can get along! (at least when discussing astronomy and astrophysics)

The annual Fall Physics Picnic happened this Monday, and we could not have asked for better weather.

Welcome, and welcome back, beavs! Here's to a fantastic fall term and academic year. 🍂🍁

It was a summer full of science for OSU physics undergrads! They volunteered at a Girl Scout Science camp and carried out physics activities with them. Huge thanks to all the volunteers, especially Max Novack who put a lot of energy and effort into organizing this event.

Max says: "I'm pretty passionate about science outreach - I'm constantly amazed at how much we as humans have been able to learn and understand about the world around us - and I love to learn more about it and share that knowledge with others. Organizing these outreach activities is hard work, but the response we get from the public, especially the kids, always makes it worthwhile. The leaders of tomorrow are growing up today, and their interests and passions are influenced by the energy and ideas we give them now."
