-
modern physicist - how to become one and why it is worth choosing this profession;
-
what do physicists actually do in their offices and laboratories;
-
where is the boundary between theoretical and experimental physics;
-
how to enjoy physics lessons on the example of school and real-life tasks.
Course starts: May 19, 2022
