PSHK Activities

There will be twelve talks, each every month in 2005, in the Hong Kong Science Museum for secondary school students and teachers. The topics range from reviews on Einstein’s contributions to modern topics in the frontiers in physics. Announcements will be made to the physics panel chairman in schools by late 2004. Reserve your seats as soon as possible. [This series is jointly organized by the Physical Society of Hong Kong and the Hong Kong Science Museum, in association with all the six physics or applied physics departments in Hong Kong.] A mini-exhibition will be held in conjunction with the series of talks. Teachers may contact PSHK to arrange poster displays in their schools for a period of time in 2005.
