physics programming

Researchers at UC San Diego report that a structured exercise program improved attention and slowed biological aging markers in breast cancer survivors. The findings, also covered by Medical Xpress, suggest physical activity may counteract some cognitive and cellular effects of cancer treatment. The results are drawing interest from oncologists and patients looking at lifestyle-based supportive care.

Auburn University held its Gameday Physics event ahead of the Homecoming football kickoff, drawing hundreds of attendees for science demonstrations tied to the game day atmosphere. The outreach program uses the excitement of Auburn football to engage fans, families and students with hands-on physics, turning the pregame crowd into an audience for science education.
