  2. Physics in the Pub — The next installment of the PSS’s signature event takes you to the very heart of modern science and technology. Physics in the Pub will be held on Monday 15 August at Pugg Mahones (Carlton) on the theme, “The Tools of Big Science”.

Annual General Meeting

The AGM will be held midway through semester 2.  All committee positions will be up for grabs, so this is your chance to step up and make a meaningful contribution to the Society.
