Earth Day - ESA, Stephen Hawking & Vangelis
In summer 2018, the European Space Agency joined with the musician Vangelis and the family of scientist Prof. Stephen Hawking to beam a message marking his passing towards the nearest black hole.
On Earth Day, ESA and The Stephen Hawking Foundation want to share with you again this poignant message to all of planet Earth - a message of hope, to say that, by working together, we can overcome this crisis and others facing humankind.

Alumni Blog, your space to share...
A note from Val, Alumni Relations officer
With the current situation, we are unable to meet in person and share news and anecdotes, so we are opening this section for contributions from alumni.
Please send us any news (a new book? your company is hiring and can benefit other alumni or students?) or anecdotes (photos, short stories, questions, and so on).
I intend to act as a link and use this section as a noticeboard for alumni.
Please us it!
Spotlight on Penrose Scholarships
Members of the Oxford Physics community will know that ensuring we can offer DPhil Scholarships to recruit the most promising graduate students is an ongoing challenge.
Physics at Home
We are getting lots of requests for content and links from parents with children at home.
This short video collates a lot of the information we have available in our website and the wider scientific outreach groups, and we hope it is of help.

Are you a musician, or do you have a special interest in the physics of music?
Are you a musician, or do you have a special interest in the physics of music?
In early 2021, we plan to launch an exciting new public engagement program within Physics celebrating the physics of music and music making. This initiative will involve far-reaching interactive educational programming for children as well as physics-themed performances and recordings from well-known artists.
Calling all microwave physicists
Calling all microwave physicists: reminiscences required!
Do you, or did you, work on microwave physics in the Clarendon Laboratory?
In collaboration with Oxford’s History of Science Museum and its Marconi archive, a new travelling exhibition celebrating the past, present, and future of microwave physics will open in Spring 2021.
