Kaczmarczik Lecture: Making Physics Viral

Thursday, March 12, 2026

12:00 PM-1:30 PM

The Kaczmarczik Lecture is a significant event at Drexel University. For nearly 30 years, guest lecturers have included numerous Nobel Laureates and renowned scientists from around the world who present on topics that range from mapping the universe to revolutions in fundamental physics.

On March 12, 2026, we proudly welcome Tatiana Erukhimova, PhD, who has become a viral sensation at Texas A&M University. Thanks to her energetic demonstrations of physics experiments, Professor Erukhimova now boasts a larger online following than A&M athletics. In this talk, Tatiana will showcase some of her most exciting physics demonstrations – many of which you can easily try at home! Get ready for clouds and magic bubbles, liquid oxygen and frozen erasers, levitating trains and floating toilet paper, spinning wheels, potato physics, and much more.

And none of it is magic – it’s physics! Tatiana's recent video demonstrations have over one billion views on Texas A&M social media. She has appeared on CBS Mornings, ABC News, NPR, and The Jennifer Hudson Show.

Please RSVP for the lecture by March 11, 2026 . This event is free and open to the public.
