How can you be educated and have a fun time simultaneously? Quantum technology says its both. How can it be both? It can’t but it is, it’s paradoxical and yet, it works! Join us for a talk with one of UCC’s leading researchers in Quantum Technology on Wednesday 7th of October for Professor Alix McCollam’s talk on her research 🔬The talk is open to all and we hope to see you there! 🧌

We want you 👉 How would you like to become a member of UCC’s (subjectively) best society committee and subcommittee! We are electing 2x first year reps for both the Physics and Astronomy Society and EPONA, along with 1x post grad rep for each committee and 1x ordinary committee member for the Physics and Astronomy committee! It is a great way to get more involved in events and meet new people (and probably looks nice on the cv too). Don’t go too far afterwards though, as we will be having a pop-up telescope 🔭 at the Glucksman Green (although this is fairly weather dependent so keep an eye on the story on monday the 5th of october for more info) 🧌

Want to learn how to manage the trials and tribulations of university physics? Whether you’re a first year trying to navigate the Kane or a 4th year who wants to learn more about what comes after college, this survival guide has a wee bit of knowledge for all! Join us next Monday in Kane G18 at 6:30 pm and hear from other students, past and present about tips, tricks and some other third thing, to navigating physics! 🧌

Are you in first year studying physics? Do you know what coffee spelt backwards is? If so pop down to the first year coffee morning located in the law building on Monday for coffee, tea, biscuits, chats and perhaps some rofl’s! Its a great opportunity to meet your fellow classmates and some of the amazing second years too! Give me coffee and tea, easily. Hope to see you there 🧌

UCC PHYSICS AND ASTRONOMY SOCIETY AGM 👨🏻‍⚖️

Teach is not gonna believe this. After two years of hard work, I must relinquish my role as UCC Physoc PRO 😔😞 Please pray for me in this very difficult time 🙏🧎‍➡️🛐

ON THE BRIGHT SIDE !! If you have ever wanted to be a bigger part of the wonderful events we host, now is your chance ! In the Physics AGM on Monday 23rd March, you can go for one of the many roles listed in slide 2 of this post ! city boyyy

To go for a role, you must compose a speech under 1 minute on why you'd like to go for any roles you wish to go for, and present it for the room to vote on !

Even if you're not going for a role you are free to come along and vote ! We want the Physoc members to have as much of a say as the committee itself !

Hope to see you all there, and hope to see a worthy candidate to pass down the helm of Physoc PRO to 🫳👑

BE HERE OR BE JEERED

A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE : THE FORMATION OF CLOSE-IN SUPER EARTHS 🌍🪐

What does any of that mean ? The second slide says it all 🗣️

This Wednesday we will have another achademic talk from our own Professor Bertram Bitsch on the discoveries that shook pir understanding of planetary formation ! Ending this years talks with two in a row ! (nearly made the triple t 🤯)

Join us in Kane G02 at 6pm for this wonderful presentation. I'm sure the 4th years could use some inspiration for their upcoming FYP presentations ... so hope to see a good hodl of students there !

Otherwise see you on the FLIP side, and keep an eye out for the last couple of events this year coming up soon !

We will once again inhabit the Mount Brandon Hostel from March 13th to March 15th for a weekend full of Stargazing and fun with fellow Physoc members. Stargazings are one of the best places to meet new people from Physoc !

Alongside stargazing much fun is had playing board games, chatting, watching sporting events like F1 races or the curling finals, and much more !

Sign ups are open on the Clubs and Societies Portal, so waste no time in signing up on the events section as usual ! And be sure to follow for updates, so you dont miss, my face reveal 🙈 Thanks !

THE ANNUAL INTEGRATION BEE RETURNS 🐝🐝🐝

Ever since clavicle got brutally framemogged by an ASU frat leader in the wild I think we've all needed something to cheer us up. Well look no further !

Centuries of arithmetic genius will converge on the 24th of February 2026 where UCC's greatest minds (maths and physics students) will gather to compete at one of mathematics greatest creations - the Integral. Lecturers are also technically allowed to come but they never do :(

It is said goliaths of calculus like Newton and Leibniz wracked their minds to develop the integral just for this very moment - The UCC Integration Bee, our annual competition where I make absurd brainrot integrals for you all to try and solve.

So join us in Western Gateway Building G05 at 6:15 pm for this monumental event. You don't have to be very good at integration. Most of us use integral-calculator.com for our assignments anyway.

There will be free pizza for those who attend ! And the winner will probably get something idk ill figure it out later just come for the pizza and fun 🍕🍕🍕🍕

BE THERE OR BE E EQUALS MC SCARED 😱😱😱😨😨😨

WELCOME BACK SOCIAL 🗣🗣🗣

What's that ? SOUNDS like another Social ! Come to Fransiscan Well on Thursday 22nd of January at 7pm for our 3rd one of the year !

These events give you a fantastic chance to meet lots of other UCC Physics students, and even often a small subset of the lecturers (if you're feeling SOCIAL enough haha (is that joke still funny guys))

You also don't have to be a physics student to go. Whether you're in a closely related course like maths, or as far as can be in OT, as long as you're a Physoc member anyone is free to come.

Only good excuses allowed for those who can't make it ! It would be a long shot to say you can't make it to Fransiscan well, its not like you've to go all the way to Istanbul on the shoe. so BE ON SCENE OR BE GREEN 🟩
