Lightning strikes a laser rod Forward this email  View in your browser THE WEEK IN PHYSICS: 23–27 JANUARY Live webinar Actions to Advance Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion in Physics Across science, many groups of people continue to be underrepresented, and representation gaps appear set to persist for a long time. For example, it is projected to take 258 years to reach gender parity in physics. What factors lead to disparities in representation? What are the challenges faced by equity-deserving groups? Why should we be motivated to effect change? What can we do? Register Now. The 10 science policy stories to watch in 2023 The federal government will be implementing science initiatives from recent legislation while battling over future funding. The FYI Team Lightning strikes a laser rod An intense, thin laser beam carves out a path for lightning. Heather M.
