Physics students Kingdell S. Valdez ‘19 of Andover, Mass. (gray sweater) and Cristopher Thompson '19 of Macon, Ga., (Bates track sweatshirt) pose for photographs and discuss a physics problem at the blackboard in third-floor Carnegie Science physics lab on March 7, 2019.They are working on a collaborative physics senior project, doing different aspects w/similar data, turning in separate documents.
