Theoretical Physics at Maynooth University Open Days!
Well, tomorrow (Friday 23rd November) and Saturday 24th November are both open days at Maynooth University. If you want to find out more about them you can look here where you will find this video which has some nice views of the campus:
I used to give Open Day talks quite frequently in a previous existence as Head of School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences at the University of Sussex and now I’m at it again, giving talks on behalf of the Department of Theoretical Physics on each Open Day. If you come along, please say hello either at the lectures (1.10pm on Friday and 2.10 on Saturday)! We also have a stall in the Iontas Building from 9.30 each day where you can meet staff and students and talk to them about the course, or anything else vaguely related to Theoretical Physics. There are other stalls, of course, but the Theoretical Physics one is obviously em>way more interesting than the others!
Looking for fun pictures to put in my talk I stumbled across this:
I think that’s the only one I need, really!

If anyone’s interested, the picture is from “The Big Bang Theory.” Sheldon invented a game, “Research Lab,” and the picture appeared on the box.
From the script-
Penny: Wow, Sheldon, I can not believe you made up your own game.
Sheldon Cooper: Oh, “Research Lab” is more than a game. Like the slogan says, “the physics is theoretical, but the fun is real.”
Leonard Hofstadter: We must not be playing it right.

I have to admit I’ve never seen a single episode of that programme.
