| Title: National Undergraduate Fellowship Program in Plasma Physics and Fusion Energy Sciences |
| Notes: Two students from Saint Peter's College (Brian McCullough and David Jacome) were invited to be in the REU program at Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory. We would like to thank James Morgan and Dr. Andrew Zwicker for the opportunity given to us. The experience was one we will never forget. A lot was learned about Plasmas and the people who contribute in the field. |
Below is a picure of the two students:

Televised Programming Shows & News:
| Title: The Elegant Universe |
| Description: Today physicists and mathematicians throughout the world are feverishly working on one of the most ambitious theories ever proposed: superstring theory. String theory, as it is often called, is the key to the Unified Field Theory that eluded Einstein for more than thirty years. The following three part show helps to brighten what this field is all about. |
| Notes: Many students feel that watching this video will motivate you to be a part of solving this mystery. After watching the movie, you will learn so much about where the future is going, and how important it is to understand the physical world. Physics allows us to recreate this experience with everyday experiments and demonstations that help us see what is happening. The following three-part show of The Elegant Universe helps to explain this much better: |
