“Science Communication” will include presentations providing helpful information and tips about:
Writing & publishing papers & abstracts
preparing for scientific conferences and presentations
communicating with the public about science
The event will conclude with a Q&A panel discussion to answer any questions you may have or cover any additional topics you are interested in.
Open to students in the Wright Lab summer program.
Split between the Beinecke and Medical Historical Library, Yale has access to early editions of many milestones of achievement in physics. In this enrichment session, you will have the opportunity to see works with topics ranging from early materials science, astronomy and cosmology, physics, and mathematics, a total of 15 items.
Wright Lab summer program students are invited to join YQI for a tour of the superconducting quantum devices laboratories in Becton. Meet up at YQI at 12 pm for a quick introduction to Quantum Information Science and then we’ll head to the labs and back to YQI where lunch will be provided.
The workshop will be divided in two parts: one-hour overview of quantum computing and another hour of hands-on programming exercises.
Requirements: please bring a laptop.
This session will provide an opportunity for students to get assistance from the YCRC Research Support team with programming and HPC related questions specific to their research projects.
The EHS shop orientation is offered each semester and is required to be taken once by anyone who would like to gain access and make use of the research and teaching shops at Wright Lab.
For more information on the shop facilities at Wright Lab see:

In this workshop we will cover the equipment available at the Wright Lab Advanced Prototyping Center and how to get started designing parts. Basics of CNC laser and abrasive water jet cutting will be included, as well as an introduction to 3D printing. No prior experience is required, but having an idea for a project that you may want to get started on would be great. We will start off with a classroom presentation and then have a quick tour of the facilities.
The Wright Lab community is invited to welcome our summer student researchers with coffee, breakfast food, and casual interaction.
Particle physics is now in an era where discovery will require thoughtful exploration, looking for highly motivated signatures that have, for one reason or another, failed our experimental searching. Beyond the notable discovery of the Higgs Boson, the LHC otherwise has not rewritten textbooks, despite all indications that there are new phenomena to be discovered. This talk will discuss some of those motivations and a few promising research thrusts that should lead to some answers to the Standard Model’s mysteries.
Precision beta decay experiments require high order QED corrections including the (very large) effects of the nuclear Coulomb field. In this talk I will present new work that explains how to construct a low-energy effective field theory for long-distance QED effects in beta decay. I will explain how:
