Stay tuned for more exciting programming from the Winter 2023 Saturday Morning Physics! The next lecture is March 11th. More details to come soon!
About Saturday Morning Physics
Physics is a fundamental science and provides the foundations for solving both cosmic mysteries and practical problems. In 1995, the University of Michigan Department of Physics began sharing some of the latest ideas in the field with the public in the Saturday Morning Physics lecture series.
Designed for general audiences, the lectures are an opportunity to hear physicists discuss their work in easy-to-understand, non-technical terms. The multimedia presentations include hands-on demonstrations of the principles discussed, along with slides, video, and computer simulations.
Saturday Morning Physics is back with in-person lectures!
Lectures are held in 170 & 182 auditoriums in Weiser Hall (low-rise)
500 Church Street, Ann Arbor, MI 48109
Parking is available at the Church Street Parking Structure for $6.00/car with only credit cards accepted.
Event Details
The Saturday Morning Physics lecture series is free to all. We are hoping that the talks will be in-person and virtual this fall. Please join our mailing list for more information.
