The University of Sydney Physics Society

PhysPod

PhysPod's aim is to provide a platform for current university students, the younger generation, and everyone to be informed more about physics as an academic field (even if you hated maths at school!). We focus on our guest's research interests, careers, philosophy of life, philosophy of science, the scientific method, and eventually ANYTHING that comes to our curious minds!
