Abstract:

Opportunities are expanding for physicists and physics technicians to be involved in outreach efforts in the media. There is a growing interest amongst the general public to truly understand physics concepts and to see it presented in an interesting way. Improving the public's understanding of physics can lead to a greater appreciation for science. This will be illustrated with snippets from recent projects and other colleagues' involvement at USC.
