Día de la Física
Día de la Física 2021
Join us for the 2021 Día de la Física, which will be held (online – via Zoom) on Saturday, October 30th, 2021. The conference will have five plenary research presentations and professional development sessions (how to apply to REUs, get into grad school, perform well in the GRE, and make the transition to industry). It will conclude with the annual members’ meeting.
Día de la Física/Day of Physics is hosted by the National Society of Hispanic Physicists (NSHP). NSHP is a nonprofit that represents Hispanic and Latino physicists in higher education, national laboratories, and industry in the U.S. and across the world.
NSHP thanks Oklahoma State University for supporting the 2021 meeting.
