In summary, the conversation discusses finding information about REUs (Research Experiences for Undergraduates) in the field of physics. It is suggested to search on departmental websites and contact professors directly for more information. The National Science Foundation website is also mentioned as a helpful resource, although it may be outdated. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the importance of researching and reaching out to specific departments and professors for accurate and up-to-date information on REUs.

So add more keywords, like "physics."

They're pretty much all listed by whoever is running it. You may find some listings on departmental sites et cetera, but there's no Central REU Authority or something.

Hmm that site's helpful as a guideline, unfortunately it seems incomplete and out of date (2004?)

I would think that the best strategy would be to go to the websites of departments that you like and see if they have REUs, a lot do. Then you can e-mail the profs you like about it. I think almost all departments can technically take on REU students since they get National Science Foundation funding.
