Physics World has published its weekly quiz, a short piece with which the British outlet invites readers to test how closely they have followed the past week's physics news. The feature runs every week and serves as a light refresher for students, enthusiasts and professionals alike.

The format is straightforward: a series of multiple-choice questions on recent events in the discipline, from experimental results to science policy and life in the labs. The question that gives this edition its title, for example, asks for the name of a committee that seeks to get STEM-educated Democratic candidates into public office, an example of the kind of contextual question that sits alongside the purely technical ones.

The piece offers no new results or advances, but works as a piece of popular-science entertainment and as a gauge of the attention the community pays to the week's news. It is a recurring item in Physics World's outreach section, designed to be read in a few minutes.

Anyone wishing to take part can find the quiz free of charge on the Physics World website, along with the answers and the reference news stories that allow each topic to be explored further.
