Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

A physics education provides students with a valuable and flexible skill set that opens doors to a wide variety of career paths, including industry, education and finance. However, Physics is almost universally unpopular in our local schools, especially among girls. This paper describes a long-term scientific and cultural outreach program we developed for youth in Newfoundland, Canada, especially rural youth, girls, and Indigenous students. We feature female and Indigenous role models, engage Indigenous storytelling, discuss a wide range of career opportunities, and emphasise a diverse set of skills required in modern science, such as cooperation and communication. As these students enter our post-secondary physics program, which is specifically developed to focus on subatomic physics and astrophysics, we engage them in research as early as their second year, making sure they are well prepared to continue at graduate schools in both theory and experiment.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
