About
Our society has its roots in a number of informal get-togethers between two Physics and two Philosophy postgrads in the Spring of
2011. In the summer of 2011, PhysPhil was founded by William Simpson for
the purpose of bringing together a number of postgrads with shared interests for dialogue and discussion on a semi-regular basis. Our meetings
take place in the Physics & Astronomy Building (usually room 338). We are not affiliated with the student union at this time.
