ALPhA’s 2025 Laboratory Immersions
 |
|
Learn a new advanced laboratory experiment well enough to teach it - with confidence!
See the ALPhA Laboratory Immersions wiki page for more information about these and past experiments.
The 2025 Immersion program is partially supported by the Synopsys/Reichert Endowment of the Jonathan F. Reichert Foundation.
Suggestions or proposals for ALPhA Immersions can be submitted via this contact form.
Equipment grants are available to Immersion participants.
The Jonathan F. Reichert Foundation has established a grant program to help purchase apparatus used in Laboratory Immersions. Limitations and exclusions apply, but generally speaking the Foundation may support up to 50% of the cost of the required equipment. Preference will be given to ALPhA members in good standing. See the Reichert Foundation website for more information.
