I would listen to KCRW in the lab. Morning Becomes Eclectic was a gentle way to keep evening experiments going

This works so well on different levels. In the last semester the class focussed on public engagement, so a topic like polage covers many aspects.
Thanks!

That's a neat example to include of theory papers. There's a flow and narrative, but I can see the big picture from a quick scan

Thanks for the suggestions. Novotny would work well, with different types of figures.

Am J Phys is a great journal. I had also looked at The Physics Teacher, but in both cases found myself automatically going to papers that I find insightful, rather than what a sophomore might

Can anyone suggest examples of short, 4-ish pages, physics papers that are accessible for physics undergrads? This is for a workshop on how academic reading, where I want students to learn how broad-strokes reading

Very nice!
Which company is doing the installation? Thorlabs suggested that they couldn't unless we had a forklift truck and allowed access for it in the labs. Love me some fumes on optics
