The Physics Wildcast
The Physics Wildcast
Podcast - Hosted by Penny Duran
Podcast - Hosted by Penny Duran
The “Physics Wildcast” is an Honors Thesis Project aimed at making physics research engaging for both experts and general audiences. It will feature interviews with faculty members from the University of Arizona’s Physics Department about their experimental research. A key goal of the project is to explore effective ways of communicating physics and sparking public interest by highlighting the unique journeys of different researchers. Penny brings relevant experience in podcast production from co-creating the German-language podcast “Courage – We’re Still Dreaming,” which won second place for the Frankfurt School Prize from the Anne Frank Educational Center in 2022. She handles all of the studio recording, audio editing, episode planning and logo design.
The first episode features Prof. Koen Visscher, where he delves into his background in biophysics and shares his perspectives on biophysics applications, physics teaching, and his time at a start-up company. The second episode has been scheduled and will feature Prof. Rachel Hyneman.

Physics Club
Physics Club
Meetings - Mondays | 5 PM - 6 PM | PAS (location varies)
Meetings - Mondays | 5 PM - 6 PM | PAS (location varies)
Meetings will typically run for an hour and will usually have various presentations from our members on a wide variety of topics related to physics. Aside from weekly presentations, there will be game nights, physics demos, professor talks, and if we're lucky, t-shirts and a trip at some point during the semester. All are welcome, regardless of major, and attendance is not required every week.
Join the majors discord. Many resources on there are very helpful to physics and astronomy majors.

Physicists for Inclusion and Equity (PIE)
Physicists for Inclusion and Equity (PIE)
- Weekly Meetings - Fridays | 11 AM - 12 PM | PAS (location varies)
On behalf of Physicists for Inclusion & Equity (PIE), we'd like to give a warm (Tucson) welcome to the incoming cohorts of grads and undergrads, and say welcome back to everyone else! For all our lovely new folks, PIE is a student-led club that serves as a forum for underrepresented groups and gender minorities in the physics community. We aim to promote an inclusive and respectful atmosphere in the department (and beyond) through physics education and outreach events. If you'd like to get involved with us, please add yourself to our email chain and/or hop on our Discord server!
Aside from weekly meetings, here's a peek at some events we have in store for the semester (more details will be relayed through the PIE email chain + Discord):
Cultural Events: Learn about traditions, history, and food from fellow physicists!
Pizza & Profs: Eat some 'za and get to know different physics faculty members.
Yap About Physics (YAP): A physics journal club geared toward undergrads!
Slice of Pie: Learn about your colleagues' nerdy (not-necessarily-physics) interests! (Contact one of our officers if you have a special interest to share and we'll put you on the schedule.)
Oodles of outreach opportunities: Volunteer at various physics-education events for K-12 students and members of the public!
PIE Study Group
PIE Study Group
PIE is starting up a study group on Wednesdays at 5pm in PAS 443 (Astro Lounge) and we'd love for y'all to attend!
It'll just be a dedicated space to work and study alongside other students and perhaps get assistance from students who have taken a certain course before / know the material you may be struggling with. It's meant to be a safe space where you can freely ask questions and get help without feeling discouraged and/or just have a chill place to study.
We'll also have a few snacks that y'all can have while you work :)
The group is welcome to both grads and undergrads! We hope that y'all try it out and see if it helps in any way!
Physics Consultation Room (Tutoring)
Physics Consultation Room (Tutoring)
Consultation hours are available for undergraduate students who would like help in problem-solving or understanding physics concepts for their courses. TAs are available Monday through Friday 9:00 am - 5:00 pm in PAS 372. The schedule can be found on the door for your convenience. If you need more assistance, please see the list of paid tutors below. They will be able to provide you with one-on-one assistance.
