On Tuesday September 14, the Leiden Institute of Physics (LION) organizes the sixth edition of its annual Science Day. The goal is to highlight the newest research at LION, and to welcome first year master students and new PhD students to our institute.
Our goal is to organize an in-person event at the Hortus Botanicus in Leiden. There will be talks about research, and ample time to wander among exotic plants and discuss the challenges and joy of doing physics. The will be a trivia competition, and lunch will be provided.
For the planning (especially because there might be Corona rules), we have asked to register by Friday September 10. However, registrations exceeded the available space (60) before this date. An e-mail with a live stream link will go out to all LION personnel on monday 13 September.
Other physics students and LION staff are also welcome, but the event is especially recommended for Master students and first year PhD students. We will have special ‘advice sessions’ for those groups.
