Welcome to the Australian Institute of Physics - President's blog
I use this page for my monthly 'Physics in Australia' bulletins and for other occasional physics news. It complements the AIP's site at www.aip.org.au.
Comments and other ideas are very welcome!

Welcome to my monthly bulletin with news and events for September 2010 and beyond.
This month the AIP is stimulating neurons in Canberra, exploiting colour in Sydney, illustrating the history of computers in Brisbane and talking about radiation–free nuclear energy in Melbourne.
Don’t forget the CSIRO Lindfield and NMI (National Measurement Institute) open day where you can find out how modern movies such as Avatar use science, technology, engineering and lots of complicated maths. Follow it on Twitter: @NMIOpenDay or Facebook: NMI Open Day. Read the full article →
Welcome to this special bulletin from the Australian Institute of Physics for National Science Week (14 – 22 August).
We’ve identified 121 Science Week events around the country with a physics component.
You can make a robotic dinosaur; hear about the laser; celebrate science with poetry; see Australia’s brightest light (or at least its home at the Australian Synchrotron); join science quizzes; learn about black holes at the Large Hadron Collider; catch the AIP 2010 Women in Physics lecturer, Elizabeth Winstanley and much more.

Welcome to my monthly newsletter to people around the country with an interest in Physics. It has news and events for June 2010 and beyond.
This month the AIP is manipulating neurons in Canberra; discovering the real CERN in Sydney; exploring the physics behind the GPS at UQ; unlocking soccer-ball aerodynamics in Adelaide and investigating how diamonds can improve photonic devices in Melbourne. Read the full article →
Welcome to my monthly posting to people around the country with an interest in physics. It contains news and events for May 2010 and beyond.
This month the AIP is celebrating the laser in Canberra; exploring nuclear energy without radioactive radiation in Sydney; discovering the rocky birth of physics at UQ; hunting high energy particles with the Moon in Adelaide; showing off new talent in Melbourne and sniffing the air in Tasmania.
We’re calling for papers for the AIP Congress, which will be in Melbourne in December.
And we’re recognising achievement in physics via a range of AIP awards and medals. Read the full article →
