Job opportunities for a physicist V
Dear Members,
We will once again host a job event, where you can come and hear stories from physicists that maybe once were, where you are now.
They will tell you about where they are now, how they got there, and what their plans are from here.
The idea is that you can come and get inspired by all the cool things you can do as a physicist. Maybe you'll learn something that's useful to your own career!
There will also be an opportunity to network with other physicists.
The time and place is
15 June at 18:00 in Aud 3 at HCØ.
The speakers will be
Gitte Frydenvang:
Gitte graduated from her masters in geophysics in 2017 and has been working as a data scientist at Ørsted since. Here she does condition monitoring to try and catch faults before they stop their turbines. This happens through collaboration with engineers and technicians to find the best way to use the data available.
and
Morten Hector Dalhoff:
Morten Graduated from his masters in physics in 2015 and has since then work in the fin-tech industry, first as a BI-consultant and later as a data engineer. Come and hear about his life in finance as a physicist.
So procrastinate from exam revision, grab your friend, and come along!
All the best,
The Board - 5-November-2020

Job opportunities for a physicist IV
Dear fellow students and alumni,
The Bohr Alumni Association would like to invite you to our fourth event on how you can apply your skills as a physicist after your education.
The event will (ideally) present you with inspiration and information about the cool possibilities that are available for a guy/gal with a physics degree.
So come along, invest in your future, and hear about the skills you didn't know you have!
The concept is similar to the earlier events with three speakers giving talks spanning an array of interesting careers, each for ~30 min.
This year we have:
Birgit, a recruiter, who will tell you all about what they are actually looking for, when they are screening your resume and cover letter.
Jens, an academic, who will tell you more of what a career in academics looks like, and how he has experienced his time as postdoc.
Marie, who is working as a consultant at KPMG, will tell you more about her daily life as a consultant and how she uses her physics skills in the 'real world'.
All talks will be in English. Since the event starts at 18, be sure to take care of dinner beforehand or go hungry. We will be providing some beers to go with the talks for your leisure. Bring your friends, bring yourself and bring the questions you might have about your future. See you there! - 19-Maj-2020

Bohr alumni online session, Mathias Luidor Heltberg
Dear everyone,
Bohr alumni association goes online and everyone is welcome to participate!
On Tuesday, May 19th, we will be hosting Mathias Luidor Heltberg (Post Doc. at Biocomplexity on Blegdamsvej) to give a talk on his exiting research applying complex models to solve problems in medicine.
With his Ph.D. "Complex Dynamics in Cell Signalling", he won the best Ph.D. price of 2019, awarded by KU Science.
Titel: "Complex dynamics in cell regulation"
Abstract:
"Life is complex, dynamic, and includes a great variety of components that are interacting in many different ways.
Despite this it seems structured, organized, and is characterized by having well defined responses to a variety of external stresses. To obtain this level of control, cells need to have a fine tuned registration of the surrounding environment and a variety of responses according to the situation. In this presentation I will introduce models of regulation in cells, how dynamics can emerge and how this affects the production and precision in the outcome. It will shed light on some of the most important regulators in living cells and introduce a new way to consider fine tuned signalling in cells."
The session will be broadcast on Zoom:
We introduce the speaker at 19.00, so join a few minutes before.
The session, talk followed by questions, is expected to last 45-60 min.
It is the first time we try this format. If any of you have suggestions/comments, please let us know.
See you in the cloud. - 19-November-2019

Back to the Origins - By Ricardo Karam
The Bohr Alumni Association invites everyone to join for a talk on the potential of using original sources in physics education by Ricardo Karam.
Ricardo is from the Department of Science Education and is currently teaching the course on History of Physics. He is also starting a new course called History of Quantum Mechanics focusing on reading original articles and dicussing their use in science and education.
If you are considering taking any of the two courses or in general is interested in how we engage and choose science material this is very much a talk for you!
Hope you will join.
Here follows the abstract by Ricardo:
Textbooks are the main sources we use to teach and learn physics.
This is the result of a well-established tradition and no doubt has
many advantages. However, it also makes physics teaching more
distant from the original ideas of the discipline and tends to obscure
their historical genesis. What if we went back to the origins and read the original sources? Could physics students make sense of them, and, more importantly, would they gain something from being confronted with ideas-in-the-making? In this talk, I will present some aspects of the original formulations of Newton’s force, Faraday’s/Maxwell’s lines of force, and Schrödinger’s wave equation. This will enable a specific discussion of what can be learned from each episode, as well as a broader reflection about the advantages (and challenges) of using excerpts from original sources in physics teaching.

Udflugt til Barsebäck
Hej alle alumner
Vi vil gerne inviterer jer en tur til Barsebäck. Besøget på barsebäck vil være gratis. Det vil blive d. 5/6, hvilket er grundlovsdag så de fleste skulle have fri denne dag. Da der kun er et begrænset antal pladser, 30, skal man ikke vente for længe med at tilmelde sig. Vi giver mulighed for at man gerne må tage sin familie med, dog skal man være over 14 år for at komme ind på værket. Besøget vil tage 2.5 time og begynde kl 13.00. Hvis I har nogle spørgsmål til værket kan man tilgå hjemmesiden, https://www.barsebackkraft.se/en/, ellers er man mere end velkommen til af kontakte mig.
Værket - Det praktiske:
· Tid: 13.00-15.30
· Dato 5/6-2018
· Adresse: Kraftverksvägen 150, SE-246 57 Barsebäck.
· Man skal have gyldigt billede-ID med.
· Fotografi er forbudt.
· Hvis man har nogle allergier må mange gerne skrive det til mig, da der vil blive serveret en lille snack.
· Man skal være godt gående, da vi skal gå på mange trapper og med en elevator under rundvisningen.
· Hvis man modtager medicinsk radioaktiv behandling, må man desværre ikke deltage I rundvisningen.
Angående transporten har vi valgt at dette skal ske ved en samkørselsordning, da vi rejser over grænser og derved vil busleje være dyrt. Det tager ca 1 time og 7 min. at kører fra blegdamsvej til barsebäck. Vi håber at vi sammen kan finde ud af at få organiseret folk så alle har kørselslejlighed derhen. Betaling, afhentnings sted og - tidspunkt skal koordineres med den man kører med.
Tilmeldingen sker ved af skrive til mig, se mail nederst. Jeg skal modtage følgende informationer, fra alle personer der skal tilmeldes:
· Person/CPR-nummer
· Fornavn
· Efternavn
På selve dagen skal der medbringes pas og/eller kørekort.
Da der kun er et begrænset antal pladser, skal der lige være lidt styring med om man er med eller ej, så det er først når man har fået et 'Du skal med' fra mig, at man er tilmeldt.
Vh.

Science Faction: Arrival + Interstellar
NOTE: THIS EVENT IS IN DANISH.
Science Faction er en aften i filmnørderiet og videnskabens tegn.
Til denne aften har vi inviteret en håndfuld videnskabelige eksperter til at diskutere nogle af vores yndlings science fiction film, nemlig Arrival og Interstellar. I løbet af aftenen vil vi blandt andet komme ind på hvorfor sorte huller kan virke som tidsmaskiner, hvordan man decifrerer et komplet ukendt sprog, hvordan og hvornår vi finder liv i rummet, og ikke mindst vil vi forsøge at forestille os, hvordan det føles at være isoleret fra menneskeheden og sin hjemplanet.
Der vil være salg af øl og vin både før og efter hver panel diskussion, og imellem foredragene vil der være en quiz med sci-fi præmier. Arrangementet vil foregå på dansk.
Diskussionen vil tage udgangspunkt i udvalgte klip fra filmene, som vil blive vist undervejs, men VI VIL OPFORDRE TIL AT SE FILMENE INDEN DETTE ARRANGEMENT, DA VI IKKE HOLDER OS TILBAGE FRA AT DISKUTERE HELE HISTORIEN OG SLUTNINGEN!
ARRIVAL
Sidste år ramte Arrival biograferne til stor glæde for sci-fi fans verden over. I filmen besøges jorden for første gang af højtudviklede rumvæsener, og menneskeheden står pludselig overfor den nærmest umulige opgave det er at kommunikere med de mystiske nyankomne. Til at diskutere filmen har vi inviteret Marie-Louise Lind Sørensen som er sprogforsker ved Københavns Universitet og specialiserer sig i sprogtypologi, samt Diana Juncher, som er PhD i astrobiologi fra Niels Bohr Institutet og sci-fi forfatter.
INTERSTELLAR
I 2014 udgav Christopher Nolan mesterværket Interstellar. Filmen følger astronauten Cooper og hans datter, fysikeren Murphy. Cooper tager på en rejse ud i rummet der fører ham gennem ormehuller og tæt forbi sorte huller, og ikke mindst langt, langt væk fra hans familie, og endda hele menneskeheden. To af de store temaer er altså isolation og Einsteins relativitetsteori, og vi har derfor inviteret Hanne Avnegaard, som arbejder som psykolog i det danske forsvar, samt Marieke van Beest, som forsker i alternative tyngdekraftteorier og sorte huller på Niels Bohr Institutet, til at diskutere filmen med hinanden.
Arrangementet præsenteres af Bohr Alumni Association og Space Generation Advisory Council.

Seaborg: Making Nuclear Sustainable
We are excited to invite you to our next event where Seaborg Technologies will come and tells us on how their work in making nuclear power sustainable in the future.
Here is the abstract of the talk:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Killing coal with capitalism (and molten salt reactors) - why, what, and how?Since the beginning of the industrial revolution, cheap and abundant energy has transformed and developed Western societies beyond anyone's wildest imagination. Now the developing world is next in line, albeit with drastically fewer tools at their disposal. The long-buried hydrocarbons that fuel human civilisation have come at a price, including rising sea levels, longer and more severe draughts, intensifying extreme weather, and acidifying oceans. With the worst yet to come, it is clear they must be avoided. Something has to change.Seaborg Technologies is a small company working to usher in this change. Seaborg develops advanced, next-generation nuclear reactors that retain the advantages of conventional nuclear power while improving the downsides. The reactors, called molten salt reactors, produce carbon-free, reliable energy at prices below coal, in a sustainable and inherently safe manner.In this talk, Eirik Eide Pettersen, co-founder and CSO of Seaborg Technologies, and an NBI alumni, will discuss the why, what, and hows of molten salt reactors. The focus will be on the challenges that must be overcome to displace fossil fuels with Seaborg reactors, be they political, financial, regulatory, or technical in nature.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the talk, we will gather to socialize, where you will be able to buy something to drink and we will provide some snacks for you to enjoy. - 22-September-2017

Peter Madsen "From the ocean floor to space: Extreme innovation"
Join us for an inspirational talk by the entrepreneur and amateur submarine/rocket builder Peter Madsen, otherwise known as Raket Madsen!
Peter Madsen earned worldwide recognition after he constructed the world’s largest amateur submarine, and again after the successful rocket launch in 2011 by Copenhagen Suborbitals, when the world’s strongest amateur-built rocket broke the sound barrier. This constituted the first step on their path to space, with the goal of Peter Madsen flying to an altitude of 130 km in just three to four years.
The event takes place at HCØ (Aud. 6) and is hosted together with the brand new alumni association of Physics. Peter will give a talk about his many experiences titled “From the ocean floor to space: Extreme innovation”. Afterwards, there will be refreshments and a chance to reconnect with alumni and students from Nanoscience and Physics.
Further details will be provided in the weeks preceding the event.
Looking forward to seeing you!
Best regards,
