In October 2022, the University of Puerto Rico, Río Piedras (UPR-RP) campus hosted the National Society of Hispanic Physicists (NSHP) Annual Meeting. As part of this meeting, we helped put on the standout event of our academic year, the 2022 Día de la Física, organized by NSHP. This activity is a significant focal point for Hispanic physicists and scientists. It was a privilege for UPR-RP to help with the event and share our cutting-edge research with more than a hundred Hispanic students, teachers, and professors. This event holds a special place in our hearts, as it is a testament to the presence and impactful contributions of Hispanics in physics, whose work has improved society.
