Thousands of students go back to school after virus outbreak

VNA/VNS Photo Minh Sơn HÀ NỘI — Update: March, 03/2020 - Thousands of students in 59 provinces and cities went back to the school on Monday after nearly six weeks absence due to the outbreak of COVID-19. One of those heading back to class was Nguyễn Thành Long, a second-year student at Hà Nội University of Science and Technology. Arriving at class was that little bit different than before. Long [the student's first name, ed. ] needed to have his temperature checked and had to wash his hands before class started. “I’m very eager to go back to school, I really miss my classmates,” he said. While in theory, an extended break may well be good news, Long found staying at home boring and he was eager to get back to learning. Around 34,000 students went back to Hà Nội University of Science & Technology yesterday. From 6am, staff were on hand to give out masks and hand sanitiser. Đinh...

Prof. Jean-Marie FRERE announces an international call for Secondary Schools

Prof. Jean-Marie FRERE is a scientist at the Service de Physique Théorique, Université Libre de Bruxelles, Belgium. His research interests are in Particle Physics and Fundamental Interactions, in particular in some better understanding of the mechanisms at play: unification of the interactions,origin of masscosmological evolution. During his stay in Quy Nhon, he shared with us a simple measurement, as a prelude to an international call for secondary schools (or first years of university students) to measure the horizontal component of the Earth magnetic field, an object which is shared by the whole world population. Measurement of the Earth magnetic field in Quy Nhon Why the grass? Well, it is just to remind us that the experiment needs to be performed outside (to avoid stray currents or steel from the buildings, it is also advisable to be far from power lines). This simple measurement is the prelude to an international call for secondary schools (or first years of university students) to measure the...
