Physics shows for high-schoolers: my experience with science communication

[sjvrijn]

During my bachelor and master's studies I've been involved with Stichting Rino. They organize a physics show 'Freezing Physics' based around liquid nitrogen (-196C) at (mostly) Dutch high schools, which I've performed >100 times over a period of ~6.5 years. I've also been involved on the organizational side for a few years.

Some things I could talk about include my experiences in presenting these shows, or what the goals were and how Rino tried to achieve those goals.

Sounds interesting for one of our next sessions. Would you, @sjvrijn, like to talk about this in our March or April session?

[sjvrijn]

Sure, both March or April are fine for me

[PabRod]

I'll be unable to join the March session (#7). This means that, on the one hand

• it would be great if someone else takes the lead that day

but on the other hand

• it is perhaps not so polite of me to drop this responsibility on you and go away (plus I'd rather not miss your talk!).

Just thinking out loud here. Any opinions?

[sjvrijn]

Let's schedule it for April then

[PabRod]

I've just realized I cannot join the April session either (in this case, due to holidays). Anyways, I can help organize both.

Thank you for a great talk, @sjvrijn! The discussion it inspired was also awesome!
