A Creative Way to Learn About Physics

A new poster gallery in Lewis Lab shares research detailed in previous physics colloquia.

As students walk to their physics lab or sit along the benches in Lewis Lab, they will find the gray concrete wall in one of the hallways on the second floor has been transformed into a “physics art gallery.” 

Physics professor Jean Toulouse and his assistant, Margaret Vasconcellos, came up with the idea to fill the hallway with poster announcements from previous physics colloquia held at Lehigh.
