FOEP Newsletter Sep2019 1 A publication of The Forum on Outreach and Engaging the Public - Vol. 5 No. 2 September 2019 A forum of the American Physical Society PHYSICS OUTREACH & ENGAGEMENT Letter from the Chair Vol. 5 No. 2 September 2019 The summer of 2019 is now in the history books and professors are preparing for the return of students. My tenure as chair of FOEP is In this issue now more than half over and time is marching on in its inexorable way. Letter from the chair -1- Time is at the forefront of my mind these days. It is perhaps the most valuable commodity of all – time and tides wait for no man, and all that. And the reason that time seems so important to me is I look Spotlight on Outreach and around me and see a highly technological society inhabited by people Engaging the Public who often don’t fully appreciate the impact that pure science has had - 3 - on their lives, ranging from vaccines, to the mastery of chemistry, to the modern marvel that is the cell phone. They need to know how Medal and Fellow Nominations much their day-to-day quality of life has been improved by scientific for 2020 - 6 - advances and every second they don’t is time lost You’re reading the FOEP newsletter, which means that you are likely a physicist or at last an avid fan of physics, and you also probably are FOEP News interested in doing science outreach. Maybe you do a bunch of (March and April Meetings) outreach already. If so, great, keep it up. But maybe you’re thinking - 8 - about doing outreach, but haven’t started. Maybe you’re wondering what you can do, or maybe you’re waiting for the right time. But the right time is now. Society needs passionate voices extolling the virtues of science and technology and, indeed, the use of the scientific Comic-Con Stories by James method itself. Technological problems facing society will be solved Roche and Clifford V. Johnson - 9 - by critical thought, empiricism, constant testing, and refinement of ideas. So, what can you do? Speak. Loudly. Often. But also you need to Outreach Resources, and Websites speak effectively and persuasively. And perhaps that’s where FOEP - 15 - and APS can help. We can help you decide what sorts of outreach ideas would work for you and how to make your efforts succeed. Are you comfortable in front of a small audience? Start a science night at a local pub or perhaps a weekend afternoon science chat at a Funding Information local coffee house. Venues like that often welcome free entertainment. - 17 - It takes a while to build an audience, but make it a monthly thing.

Please note that if you currently belong to Engaging the Public - FOEP - two or more forums, FOEP will be added at no charge for the A forum of the American Physical Society remainder of your membership term. On your next membership renewal notice, you will see a Forum subtotal that will include $10 for every Forum membership over two. 2 A publication of The Forum on Outreach and Engaging the Public - Vol. 5 No. 2 September 2019 A forum of the American Physical Society faculty members, graduate students, and others from all scientific disciplines to give a short public talk and then do a Q&A. If you’re handy or have a great demo lab, consider making a physics road show. Liquid nitrogen shows are a hit among kids, as are electrical demos. Nothing like a sparking van der Graaf generator for a shocking presentation! These work at schools and at public festivals. There are many current successful shows that you could reproduce and show to local audiences. If you have a particular passion, say space exploration or cosmology or sound, put together a fun public lecture and have your university or school help you advertise it. FOEP Chair-elect professor Jim Kakalios has turned a passion for comic book superheroes into a book, well attended public lectures, an invitation to ComicCon, television appearances, as well as a myriad of articles in various popular magazines. And if you like to write, the possibilities are endless. You can blog, although building a following can be a slow process. If you are good at making short physics demo videos, there is YouTube and Instagram. Twitter and Facebook and Snapchat are great ways to Don Lincoln connect with audiences. And don’t forget the time honored popular science book. Fermilab FOEP has the expertise to advise you on best practices for any of these approaches and more. And, if you attend the upcoming March or April meetings, we will have a series of invited lectures by experts in their fields. In 2019, we had talks by Sean Carroll on podcasts and Chad Orzel on social media. We had Alison Eck, social media editor for the Letter from website for the television show NOVA, and Ben Wiehe of the MIT museum talking about science festivals. The April meeting had professor Clifford Johnson of the University of the Chair, Southern California, talking about his work with the Marvel movies. All of these people are willing to answer questions and provide guidance to aspiring science communicators. continued For those who cannot attend the APS general meetings, you can find resources and advice at this website. If you’re considering beginning to do science outreach, now is the time to start. Pick a thing you’ll enjoy and do it. If you’re not sure how, ask someone already doing it. The FOEP executive committee will help you find local organizations to join and mentors with which to speak. Science communication is important and if you are thinking that you don’t have time, I’d like to leave you with one parting thought. A year from now you will wish you had started today. Don Lincoln Forum on Outreach and Engaging the Public FOEP’s goal is to increase the public’s awareness of physics by providing a forum within APS for the large number of physicists currently involved in a diverse array of outreach FOEP and public engagement activities. FOEP fosters the development and dissemination of FORUM ON OUTREACH & outreach activities such as blogging, multimedia, video, pop culture, popularizations, ENGAGING THE PUBLIC press relations, politics, “amateur” and distributed science, science cafes, and public shows and lectures. The Forum organizes and sponsors sessions at the March and April APS meetings and will issue a semiannual newsletter. 2 1 A publication of The Forum on Outreach and Engaging the Public - Vol. 5 No. 2 September 2019 A forum of the American Physical Society Spotlights on Outreach and EngagingI am lucky the in France Public to be well - supported by my university and the CNRS, as well as colleagues with the Creators of Funsizein Physicsmy department and research group otherwise I would never be able to get involved in outreach. Questions and Answers with FOEP’s Member-At-Large, Shireen Adenwalla and her colleague Jocelyn Bosley Shireen Adenwalla & Jocelyn Bosley, University of Nebraska - Lincoln Q. How would you describe your outreach website, and why you think it is important for the researchers to describe their work? How do you help the researchers convey their work? Funsize Physics (https://funsizephysics.com) aims to provide a forum for researchers to publicize their exciting science and outreach activities, extending the impact of these activities beyond the usual constituencies of like-minded scientists. While the majority of online science content consists of single-author science blogs and science news sites, our Funsize Research page features descriptions of cutting-edge condensed matter research Jocelyn Bosley & Shireen Adenwalla written by the researchers themselves for a broad audience. Our University of Nebraska - Lincoln Funsize Classroom section serves as a repository for best practices for outreach activities, allowing K-12 teachers and students as well as at-home experimentalists to engage in DIY activities developed and tested by our contributors. We are also in the process of developing a new, third section of the website called Funsize Fundamentals, which will provide a primer on foundational concepts in condensed matter physics, such as magnetism, superconductivity, and band structure. The website is colorful and attractive, and it provides easy access for users to create their own content. One of our priorities is a low entry bar, making it easy for a non-web-savvy person to create content extremely quickly. When we receive a contribution, we provide feedback and suggest edits to the Our goal is to help author, and we help them find related web material—videos, pictures, stories—to illustrate concepts in compelling ways. Our researchers amplify their goal is to help researchers amplify their message by making it message by making it meaningful to a broad audience, without sacrificing scientific meaningful to a broad accuracy. Most researchers are excited to reach a broader audience, without audience, and the presence of Google Analytics lets contributors sacrificing scientific see how many hits, reads, likes their posts acquire. accuracy. 3 2 A publication of The Forum on Outreach and Engaging the Public - Vol. 5 No. 2 September 2019 A forum of the American Physical Society Q. What advice would you give to someone writing up their research for a general audience? We have a set of specific Dos and Don’ts on the website, but in general we ask contributors to imagine explaining their research to a curious and intelligent middle- or high-schooler.

We find a disparity between the types of EPO activities researchers deem valuable and those in which they participate. Most respondents are motivated to engage in EPO by a desire to educate the public. Barriers to engagement include career- and skill-related concerns, but lack of time is the main deterrent. We explore the value of centralized EPO efforts and conclude with a list of recommendations for increasing researchers’ engagement.

  • Marques Franklin REU Summer Program 2002 Nevis Labs, New York
    Marques Franklin REU summer program 2002 Nevis Labs, New York Physics Emasondosondo My participation in the 2002 REU summer program was two fold. The first project involved research concerning developing technology that could be used in low energy neutrino detectors. We studied electron bubble behavior in cryogenically cooled argon. However, we were only able to spend a small fraction of our time in the lab because we were preparing for the second portion of the program. Of the results we obtained, we were unable to draw any major conclusions due too large amounts of noise in our data. The vast majority of our time was spent developing a physics outreach program. Our purpose was to raise the awareness of physics in the classrooms of township schools surrounding the city of Johannesburg South Africa. The team was made up of several individuals stemming from the United States and South Africa. From the United States side, six members with varying backgrounds gathered at Nevis Labs in New York. The team leader was Dr. Jeremy Dodd, a research physicist from Nevis Labs. Dr. Dodd consulted with Mr. Bill Metzler, a high school math and physics teacher, in order to select the other four members of the team. Of all the applicants, the four chosen were Amanda Weltman, a graduate student at Columbia University studying particle physics, Ian Tolfree, a recent graduate from Columbia University who was preparing for graduate studies in the field of plasma physics at John Hopkins University, William Serber, an undergraduate at Columbia University involved with studies involving cosmology, particle physics, and predominantly astrophysics, and Marques Franklin (that’s me!), an undergraduate from Purdue University in Indianapolis, IN studying mechanical engineering.

  • Engaging Young People with Our Science
    EPJ Web of Conferences 95, 02001 (2015) DOI: 10.1051/epjconf/20159502001 C Owned by the authors, published by EDP Sciences, 2015 ! " ! # $ ! " When we reach out to the youngest children, our goal is to create interest rather than teach physics. We go where they are: in schools, libraries, museums, where people meet one another—at shopping malls, festivals, and markets. We share our work by engaging children in conversation and appropriate hands-on activities. We lead by asking questions and getting children to ask questions too. This is often a different way of communicating than we are used to. However, many available resources make this easier. The International Particle Physics Outreach Group (IPPOG) has an excellent online resources database [1]. We had just such an event, Science Hoists Sails, during the conference. Held at the Chania Sailing Club, Neorio Moro, we organized an ALTAS Masterclass and set up seven activities that gave visitors a chance to explore particle structure, paths and patterns, conservation laws, collect data to make a measurement using indirect evidence, and put together a jigsaw puzzle of CERN’s ATLAS detector. Several conference participants and accompanying persons served as explainers to engage the visitors with these hands-on activities meant to interest people ages 9 to

  • Use of Scientific Language by University Physics Students Communicating to the Public
    Use of Scientific Language by University Physics Students Communicating to the Public Kathleen Hinko1,2, Jordan Seneca1 and Noah Finkelstein1 Department of Physics1 and JILA NSF Physics Frontier Center for Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics2, University of Colorado Boulder, CO 80309, USA Abstract. Communicating to non-expert audiences about advanced physics topics and current research is an essential practice for physicists. Typical language used by physicists speaking to other physicists, however, draws on a wealth of prior knowledge and community norms; using such scientific language with public audiences can be a barrier to effective communication. Drawing from observations and literature, we present a framework for the assessment of scientific language of physics students communicating scientific meaning to non-expert audiences. We apply this framework to the analysis of videos of university physics students instructed to describe their research to children. We classify the types of scientific language used by students and identify strategies they employ to mitigate the impact of jargon on the audience. Keywords: Physics education research, informal science education, science communication PACS: 01.40.Fk, 01.40.-d INTRODUCTION departments such as communication or journalism [for example: 6, 7]. Physics programs typically do not have It is vital for both physicists and physics students to explicit curricular elements that support public be able to communicate about scientific ideas, communication; they may have at most a single class questions and research to various audiences.

  • UK Particle Physics Outreach Summary Prepared for IPPOG Meeting at Fermilab April 2013
    UK Particle Physics Outreach Summary prepared for IPPOG meeting at Fermilab April 2013 I have prepared a brief summary of the huge range of Outreach activities carried out by staff and research students from UK Particle Physics groups with the support of the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC). I received input from many Particle Physics(PP) groups whilst preparing this report. I would like to emphasise that it is only possible for PP groups to successfully engage in such a large number of activities for this wide range of audiences because many staff and students support these activities. Some of the media activities reach very large audiences. There are also a number of innovative and experimental outreach activities that are aiming to reach an even broader audience. Many groups stress that the organisation of so many school-linked events is only possible with the active involvement of a part-time or full-time schools liaison post. The second part of this UK report is prepared by Robin Clegg and Neville Hollingworth from STFC and briefly describes their activities and plans. Activities mainly for students include Masterclasses typically for 100-200 students over 1-2 days at a University Mini-Masterclasses typically 20 students at a University or school Spark Chamber and Cosmic Ray demos, measurements and talks in schools Liaison work to help school prepare for CERN visit School talks including some to very large audiences Wider access events for younger children, disadvantaged students …… Big Bang fair - Annual national event with attendance of 65000 over four days (primarily aimed at younger students 7-19 years) plus large number of smaller regional events.
