Physics Buzz

“Spider-Man, Thor, the Hulk, the X-Men. . . Okay, so I’ve created a whole caboodle of superheroes. But the important thing is, now it’s your turn.” —Stan Lee

Once again, the Physics Central team will be attending this year's Comic-Con International in San Diego from July 23rd through July 27th . We'll be handing out tons of free laser and Tesla comic books along with extra goodies for Comic-Con attendees. The Physics Central team at last year's Comic-Con. Here's what you need to know: Where: Booth number 2207 in the Exhibit Hall of the San Diego Convention Center . When: Wednesday, July 23, 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm Thursday, July 24, 9:30 am - 7:00 pm Friday, July 25, 9:30 am - 7:00 pm Saturday, July 26, 9:30 am - 7:00 pm Sunday, July 27, 9:30 am - 5:00 pm Why: We'll be handing out tons of free Spectra comic books , Tesla comic books , and LED "throwies." Also, we'll be selling "Keep Calm and Fermion" shirts at the booth. Stop by, learn some physics, and take back some science souvenirs. Our Keep and Calm and Fermion shirt will be for sale at the booth this year.

Later this week, the Physics Central Team will descend upon sunny San Diego, California for perhaps the holy grail of nerdy science and science fiction conferences: Comic Con . We'll be handing out free copies of our Spectra comic book series and catching a few of the more science-y panels at the show. Physics and science fiction often make a great match, so we really hope a few Physics Buzz readers will be in attendance. For those adoring fans (we bloggers can dream) who stop by our both, we'll have a special surprise for you! While everyone will be able to pick up our comic books for free, only true fans will get our special swag: a "Flirt Harder: I'm a Physicist" button you can display proudly! As a group of physicists and physics aficionados ourselves, we can sometimes have a little trouble deciphering subtle social cues. Consequently, we need you to give us your best physics pickup line for your free button (see left for inspiration).
