Join us for an exclusive public talk by UC Irvine alumnus and winner of the 2021 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, David MacMillan. Professor MacMillan will share his journey in this light-hearted, non-technical presentation. Hear about his path from developing organocatalysis in his lab to what it has been like in the aftermath of winning the Nobel Prize.
The Math Community Educational Outreach (Math CEO) program at the University of California, Irvine (UCI) will receive the 2025 AMS Award for an Exemplary Program or Achievement in a Mathematics Department.
Founded in 2014, UCI’s Math CEO is an after-school math enrichment program aimed at increasing the number of talented students in STEM from diverse backgrounds by fostering mathematical exploration, mentor development, and community engagement.
The Adventures in Physics program provides engaging demonstrations of physics for communities in the Orange County area. The program also hosts an annual public event at UCI for the entire community to experience an engaging physics lecture and exciting science demonstrations.
This event honors the legacy of John Rosendahl, Instructional Programs Director in the Department of Physics & Astronomy from 1987 – 2012. He created memorable lecture demonstrations that were seen by more than 50,000 students and conducted physics assemblies for K-12 schools.
Join us on December 5, 2024, at 8:30 a.m. to learn about cutting-edge research that's exploring the mysteries of the universe and pushing the boundaries of human knowledge.
The Ruth Ann and John Evans Family Beyond Endowed Lecture Series features research that is unraveling the secrets of the cosmos and inspiring the next generation of explorers and thinkers. The annual series offers timely scientific lectures that are free and open to the public.
The Search for Exoplanets Around the Nearest Stars: At the Threshold of New Earths
October 24, 2024 | 4 p.m. - 7 p.m. PT | ISEB 3020
Come join us for Physical Sciences Story Hour.
What it is: an informal group that gets together to share their favorite science communication media and to chat about what makes good science stories work.
Join us on Halloween for spooky fun! Meet student clubs, play carnival games and enjoy some treats.
The carnival will be open from 11 am to 2 pm in the Physical Sciences Plaza.
Open to UCI students, staff and faculty.
No RSVP required. Costumes strongly encouraged!
DARING TO REST: A Fall Workshop for the UCI School of Physical Sciences
Facilitated by Prof. Aomawa Shields, UCI Department of Physics and Astronomy
On Monday, July 8th, NASA Astronaut Tracy Caldwell Dyson will video call AirUCI from the International Space Station at 1:00 pm Pacific time to answer questions we have compiled over the last few weeks.
Tracy is an honorary member and alumna of AirUCI and is now on her third trip to space. She launched in late March for a six-month mission aboard the ISS and offered us this special opportunity, which we will share and record for later viewing.
The ice sheets near the Earth’s poles contain ancient ice formed from continuous snow accumulation over thousands of years. Using ice cores, scientists can study the old air trapped in the ice, which unlocks mysteries of Earth’s environmental history.
Faculty across the School of Physical Sciences are invited to join the first The Institute for Meaningful Engagement Workshop led by TIME in partnership with Professor Joe Patterson from the Chemistry Department to learn about how to positively influence the persistence and retention rates of minoritized students in STEM.
