Assistant Professor of Physics Erin De Pree and 11 St. Mary’s physics students attended the American Physical Society’s annual April meeting on April 4 in Savannah, Ga. While there, they met with alumna, Christine DiMenna ’12. Students Laura Andre, Grant Burgess, Chris Johnson, Erin Knutson, Jon Kwolek, Ian Morgan, Lizzie Nance, Dan Putt, Arvind Srinivasan, Sean Stafford and Kevin Tennyson were in attendance.
Students had the chance to present research, attend talks, participate in a press conference, and have lunch with Neil deGrasse Tyson, host of TV’s “Cosmos.” They will also write about their experiences as part of a Reporter Award given by the Society of Physics Students.
