Hello Dr Langford,

The physics society is thinking about starting a series of talks in the new semester with the aim of helping and inspiring our members to possible careers or area of study in physics. The idea is for talks to be given by physics department staff and industry career speakers every few weeks based on the question "Why I do physics?" or something similar. We hope for department staff give a short talk (30 mins max) on what they research in the department, what they find fascinating about working in the field of physics, or simply who their favourite physicist is and why. Hopefully the talks will give students ideas of all the different areas that a degree in physics can take them, while also humanising department staff and allowing them to speak on areas of real interest. It will also be helpful for older students in choosing what areas of research to move into in 4th and 5th year.

Obviously for this to take place department staff will have to be willing and able to give up a bit of their time to plan and deliver their talks, which is why I'm emailing you. Do you think this is something the department staff would like to be involved in? If so, what do you suggest is the best way of getting in touch with them - Would a large department email suffice?

Hope you're well
