Stanford Links

• Department of Physics
  Our home!
• Department of Applied Physics
  Ask one of our older professors why we have two separate departments, it's kind of an interesting story.

Physics Outreach Opportunities

• Haas Center: Science in Service Program
  Science in Service is a program for undergraduate and graduate students who are interested in communicating science to the public. The program is comprised of two parts: 1. the Science in Service Workshop Series, and 2. the Science in Service Community Placements

Cool Physics Links

• (Because apparently every undergraduate physics website is mandated to have a list of "cool" links.)
• Stanford Science @ The Research Channel
  Videos of Stanford scientists. Did you catch Doug Osheroff?
• Physics Library: Eateris & Attractions
  What could be a cooler link than a map to the Jordan Hall Thai Cafe?
• University of Fribourg: Exploring Theoretical Physics
  Lots of fun/educational links.
• Motion Mountain Physics Textbook
  Undergrad\pre-undergrad level online text
• SLAC Photo Archives
  Diana Rogers is quite the character; she takes awesome pictures, too.
• Boston Area Undergraduate Physics Competition
  "BAUPC is a physics and (somewhat) math competition that was designed to extend the idea and spirit of high school olympiads to embrace students currently enrolled in undergraduate program."
• KITP Online
  Recent Programs and Conferences @ UCSB's Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics
• SLAC Public Lecture Series
  Ever wonder what goes on at SLAC? Here is your chance to find out. The SLAC Public Lecture Series opens the doors to the inner workings of SLAC for the local nonscientific community. Find out what SLAC is all about: the research, the facilities, and the people that make this a world-class research institute. Hang around for refreshments after the talks. Physicists will be on hand to chat so bring your toughest questions to stump the professionals!
• Usenet Physics FAQ
  You can access the newsgroup through Stanford's news server, though you might be more interested in sci.physics.research versus sci.physics since the latter is unmoderated.
