Photo Competition

The theme of the jIAPS July Photo Competition is Animals, including pets and wildlife.

We would love to see your photos – just email us at jiaps@iaps.info, tag us on social media or post your photos in the #photos channel of the IAPS Discord. You don’t have to be a current physics student to enter.

As well as the monthly themes, jIAPS always enjoys seeing Physics-related photos, including photos of events organised by IAPS and other Physics societies. You can see some of the best photos of Physics events here.

Winner – 🇬🇧 Erin Douglas

Hillsborough Forest Park, County of Down in the North of Ireland.
‘The lighting was in my favour and the clarity of the imagery, captured, as the light meets the earth in the reflection of water, speaks for itself. They say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. April 15th 1912, the Titanic sank on its voyage to New York. In light of the new Quantum technology & the QFS, I thought it ‘timely’ of this clarity of light. Leonardo da Vinci himself, I thought, could paint this imagery. Who also was born in April 15th.’

Thankful for: Fun Physics Outreach
Each year our university student scout and guide organisation host a science jamboree in conjunction with the university and this year I mentored a group to deliver an activity and then delivered some myself. We delivered some magnetism activities to five Cub units (groups of 8-10 year olds) I was delivering mag-lev pencils.
