Here's some motivation as week two comes to an end. Thanks to everyone who came out to our meeting this week and we hope you all stay dry as Hurrican Dorian closes in on the Melbourne area.

The APSS Department will be hosting its first Public Science Lecture of Fall 2019 semester this tonight, at 8pm (in half an hour!!) in the Olin Engineering Building Auditorium (OEC 118). Dr. Jérémy Riousset from the Florida Institute of Technology will discuss "Martian Lightning: Life Spark or Death Stroke?" Immediately afterward, the Student Astronomical Society will be opening up the telescopes for public viewing on the roof of Olin Physical Sciences Building (weather permitting). We look forward to seeing you all there!

Our first meeting of the semester will be tomorrow at 7 PM in Olin Physical Sciences Room 144. We're looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow, both old and new faces. We have plenty of events, workshops, and programs in store for the semester!

Jumping into the semester like...

Who else is ready for a semester of long sleepless nights, caffeine, and endless derivations?😅

We had a great time engaging with students at the organization fair. Thanks to everyone who came out to our table today. We can't wait to get the semester started with you all!

If you weren't able to make it to our table yesterday but want to join, all you have to do is find us on Florida Tech Engage!

In addition, APS works on behalf of the physics community to improve physics education, inform the public and policy leaders about the importance and excitement of physics, increase the diversity...

On this day in 1930, the highly remarkable astronaut, aeronautical engineer, and test pilot, Neil Amrstrong was born. A true hero to us all, Armstrong spent his life pushing the boundaries of exploration and discovery. As the first man to set foot on the moon, his work along with the rest of the Apollo 11 crew has inspired generations of scientists, engineers, and pilots to explore the unknown and to continuously ask questions about the physical nature of our universe.

Location update: Looking for a way to take out that built up stress that comes from life as a college student? Today in front of the SUB from 10-2, you will have the chance to pie a SPS, SAS, or SEDS member in the face for a small donation of $2. Hope to see you there!
