| 03/22/2010 College of Science Teaching Excellence Award for 2009/2010 goes to Dr. Carol Strong in Physics. A nice complement to her other teaching awards! |
| 03/11/2010 Space Physics Summer School The 2010 Space Weather Summer School will be held at the University of Alabama in Huntsville during June 23-30, 2010. The summer school will offer an intensive one-week course in topics related to Space Weather studies. |
| 02/24/2010 Small Radio Telescope Courtesy of much work on the part of Max Bonamente and Laci Gambill, the roof of the Optics Building now hosts a fully operational Small Radio Telescope: a 7-1/2 foot diameter radio antenna with a 21-cm, 40 MHz bandwidth receiver. The SRT can be used to detect radio emission from a variety of astronomical sources, including the Galactic plane, Orion, and the Andromeda galaxy. The telescope is now open for student projects. The telescope website will be operational soon. |
| 01/12/2010 NSF CAREER Award Dr. Vladimir Florinski, Assistant Professor of Physics, has been awarded a prestigious CAREER award from the National Science Foundation. |
