Hello NYPGrs!
Hope all is well with you and we're looking forward to seeing you on Friday, August 8th at 6:30pm! After a short preamble, we'll start with our monthly New Science, always an interesting topic, after which we
continue with our main video presentation. This month, it's Dark Matter Night. This is a two-part presentation, the first half from the Perimeter Institute with Katy Mack, covering the theory behind dark matter, and the second half with Ken Clark from Queen's University on the experimental search for dark matter.
After every presentation, it's time to question and discuss..We ask that when you want to speak, it's best to raise your hand, wait your turn, and keep your questions/comments brief and related to the event topic..
AND why not stay on after the regular meeting that ends at 9pm, or as close thereafter, for the virtual No Holds Bar - open til 11+ pm for more informal chat!
Much appreciation goes to our NYPG Team: Linda, for her monthly New Science; to Dan, NYPG Series Moderator and to Larry and the rest of the NYPG Team for their presentations and support, and to our NYPG Members for being there and especially to our NYPG Founder, Mohsen. Thank you All!

About the North York Physics Group (NYPG)
NYPG has been going for about 18 years with going on 1,900 members.
Our presentations provide a venue for learning from members and guests academics and scientists. We also have video lectures covering on all aspects of Physics.
We encourage our members to submit presentations or help us find great Physics presenters, whether they be professional academics, post-grads, or just physics enthusiasts.
Within our meetings, each member gets to learn and discuss many aspects of Physics.
The only "formal" qualifications you need to join is a sincere personal desire and enthusiasm for Physics; to keep yourself informed and to courteously share your insights.
Pre-pandemic, after the formal meeting there was the Afterwards..many of us would go a short distance outside to a local pub/restaurant for drinks, snacks, chatting, making new physics oriented friends, or comparing notes with our circle of very scientific friends! For now we hang out at the virtual “No Holds Bar”. Hope you can join us for that! Closing time is 11pm.
BTW: Some members have asked if we will be going back to in person meetings. That would be nice, but, many of our regular attendees are at too much of a distance, or prefer not traveling, so the virtual meetings work well. We are looking into possible hybrid meetings meaning an appropriate free, quiet meeting space where reliable internet service is a must. So far, we haven’t found such a location.
However, the good news is that we've had some great in-person social events for local NYPG members and we will continue to have more In Person-Meetings this year. There will be more get-togethers in person this year..Summer, Fall and Winter. The next in-person meeting will be in September. Date TBA!
Mohsen and I would like to thank our Organizing Team: Linda, Dan, and Larry for their dedicated support of NYPG. Thank you TEAM!
Betty and Mohsen.
