Programs REU and SULI Status Report COVID-19

AI Thread Summary
A student mentoring discussion highlights the shift to remote internships due to current circumstances, specifically mentioning a SULI summer internship at Brookhaven National Laboratory. While there is disappointment over not participating in-person, the remote format is seen as a preferable alternative to cancellation. Other students awaiting updates on their summer research internships are receiving positive indications that opportunities may still proceed. The Cornell Nanoscale Facility's REU program has been canceled, raising concerns about the feasibility of remote participation in programs reliant on physical access to facilities. Overall, there is hope that many internships can adapt to remote formats successfully.

One student I mentor has reported that their SULI summer internship at Brookhaven National Laboratory has been modified to be remote (via internet) rather than in person. While there is some disappointment not being able to contribute to an experimental project in person, there is understanding that in the circumstance, this was a favorable outcome compared with cancellation.

The other students I mentor are still waiting on final word about their summer research internship opportunities, though they are getting positive signals that suggest a high probability of things moving forward one way or the other.

I thought it might be nice to have a thread here for folks to share information on statuses.

The Cornell Nanoscale Facility's REU program has been cancelled. Obviously working remotely is tricky for a program whose main benefit is access to a great academic cleanroom, but I hope that most REUs/internships are able to switch to being remote. I'm glad BNL has moved in that direction.

TL;DR Summary: What topics to cover to safely say I know arithmetic ? I am learning arithmetic from Indian NCERT textbook. Currently I have finished addition ,substraction of 2 digit numbers and divisions, multiplication of 1 digit numbers. I am moving pretty slowly. Can someone tell me what topics to cover first to build a framework and then go on in detail. I want to learn fast. It has taken me a year now learning arithmetic. I want to speed up. Thanks for the help in advance. (I also...
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...
guys i am currently studying in computer science engineering [1st yr]. i was intrested in physics when i was in high school. due to some circumstances i chose computer science engineering degree. so i want to incoporate computer science engineering with physics and i came across computational physics. i am intrested studying it but i dont know where to start. can you guys reccomend me some yt channels or some free courses or some other way to learn the computational physics.
