    Invited Speaker / Conférencier invité
    Modeling, which includes developing, testing, and refining models, is a central activity in physics. Well-known examples from include everything from the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom to the Standard Model of particle physics. Modeling, while typically considered a theoretical activity, is most fully represented in the laboratory where measurements of real phenomena intersect with...

    Women in Physics / Femmes en physique (CEWIP-CEFEP)
    Invited Speaker / Conférencier invité
    A century ago it was only Marie Curie and a few other women who were part of the physics community, but in 2014, CAP and IUPAP (International Union of Pure and Applied Physics) brought over 200 women physicists from 52 countries to Waterloo for the 5th IUPAP International Conference on Women in Physics (ICWIP). ICWIP 2014 was held at Wilfrid Laurier University from August 5 to 8, 2014. This...

    Oral (Non-Student) / orale (non-étudiant)
    It has been established that male students outperform female students on almost all commonly-used physics concept inventories. However, there is significant variation in the factors that contribute to this gender gap, as well as the direction in which they influence it. It is presently unknown if such a gender gap exists on the relatively new Concise Data Processing Assessment (CDPA). To get...
