Research Opportunity (HS students and teachers): MSU - PAN (Physics of Atomic Nuclei) - Summer program

The Joint Institute for Nuclear Astrophysics (JINA) and National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL) are now inviting applications for the sixteenth PAN program in summer 2009. High school students and science teachers are encouraged to apply before the April 30 deadline. PAN is a free residential summer program on the campus of Michigan State University co-sponsored by NSCL and JINA. The two-week program introduces teachers and pre-college students to the principles and methods of scientific research (focusing on current work in nuclear physics and nuclear astrophysics) as well as life in the university environment. Physics and Chemistry teachers may find this program particularly useful, while pre-service teachers who are looking to expand their content/pedagogy knowledge are especially welcome.

The program is FREE, but space is limited.

Application deadline : April 30th, 2009 (check back for future opportunities)
