AI Thread Summary
There are no specific Science Olympiads for college students akin to those for high school, but there are competitive events like the annual Putnam Mathematics Competition and the Mathematical Contest in Modeling for undergraduates. These competitions focus on mathematics and modeling, respectively. Participants can find more information on the official websites of these contests. While the discussion briefly mentions unrelated topics like moonshining and home brewing, the primary focus remains on academic competitions. Overall, college students interested in science competitions should explore these mathematics-focused events.

Thread 'Help with my plan to get into research about bound states'

Hi community My aim is to get into research about atoms, specifically, I want to do experimental research that explores questions like: 1. Why do Gallium/Mercury have low melting points 2. Why are there so many exceptions and inconsistencies when it comes to explaining molecular structures / reaction mechanisms in inorganic and organic chemistry 3. Experimental research about fundamental Quantum Mechanics, such as the one being followed by Hiroshima university that proved that observing...

Thread 'PhD Admission: What Do Committees Want from an MS Applicant in Research?'

I am currently in the second (and final) year of my MS in Physics. I've just started my research, which focuses on identifying Dark Matter through Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) extensions. My supervisor has directed me to learn model building using FeynRules and subsequent calculations via MadGraph or other simulators. I've successfully built models for QED and QCD, and I am now working on Weak Interactions, Electroweak theory, and symmetry breaking. My immediate goal for the next few...
