The Department of Chemistry, Physics and Astronomy and the Science Education Center will host a gathering Saturday, Oct. 14, from noon until 3 p.m. to view the partial solar eclipse visible in most of the U.S. A small corridor of the U.S. will see an annular solar eclipse during this event. Join us on front campus to use SunSpotter telescopes and a limited number of solar eclipse glasses.
Dr. Arash Bodaghee, associate professor of Physics and Astronomy, and his Scholar, Cody Cox, '22, published an article in The Astrophysical Journal: the top-rated peer-reviewed journal devoted solely to Astronomy and Astrophysics. Using X-ray observations from NASA's NuSTAR space telescope, Cox and Bodaghee studied a high-mass X-ray binary in which a star several times more massive than the sun is paired with a neutron star (i.e., the remnant core of a massive star after its supernova)...
Joel Saucedo’s head is full of nuclear fusion, clean energy, fractional calculus, radioactive particles—and all that jazz. The jazz part? When he’s not studying physics, he plays saxophone in Georgia College & State University’s Jazz Band. These elements all weave together into a liberal arts education at Georgia College that Saucedo credits for helping him win a prestigious nuclear physics traineeship at Duke University this summer. “This is an environment that's ripe for cultivating...
Thanks to Georgia College & State University’s new medical physics program, this graduate’s future is off to a healthy start. Kaylee Kallam of Cumming was Georgia College’s first student to complete its new medical physics pathway. Now, she’s been accepted into the University of Tennessee’s Medical Physics master’s program with a full assistantship teaching position, tuition waived and a monthly stipend. “I feel very prepared based on the classes I took and the resources I was given...
Georgia College & State University and the Mercer University College of Pharmacy are partnering for a healthier Georgia. May 10, President Cathy Cox and Mercer University President William D. Underwood signed an agreement for Georgia College pre-pharmacy graduates to receive priority applicant status to Mercer’s Doctor of Pharmacy program. “A significant number of our students have expressed an interest in pursuing a Doctor of Pharmacy,” said Dr. Sayo Fakayode, chair of the Department...
Dr. Catrena Lisse, chemistry professor and director of Georgia College & State University’s Science Education Center, has won the 2023 Charles Dunn Award from the Council of Public Liberal Arts Colleges (COPLAC). Dr. Eric Tenbus, dean of the College of Arts & Sciences, called the honor well-deserved, saying Lisse continues to be a “tremendous ambassador” for Georgia College. “We’re ecstatic for Dr. Lisse to have won the COPLAC’s Dunn award,” Tenbus said. “She fully represents the teacher-scholar...
About 65 first and second graders will attend Georgia College & State University’s 5th Renewable Energy Day from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. today—Tuesday, March 21 at Centennial Center—as physics students demonstrate the power of sun, wind, water, biofuel and other sustainable sources. It’s the first Renewable Energy Day since the COVID-19 pandemic. “Even if they cannot fully comprehend the ideas of climate change or global warming, it’s important to expose children at very young ages to these...
