I am a member of the BCAPT e-mail list. And this is what I received through the list today. What an amazing gift. Thank you Andy for sharing it with us. This is Andy’s text: “This image is just mind-blowing.  It was originally captured in 1927 at the Solvay Conference, attended by some of the […]

I am delighted to hear about this very special web site about Richard Feynman – http://www.richard-feynman.net

Today I decided to visit Seattle (to see an amazing “King Tut” Exhibit at the Pacific Science Center” and on the way back I happen to listen to Daniel Kahneman’s book “Thinking Fast and Slow”. I have written about this book already. The book is an audio book and I keep listening to it while […]

Recently I attended the Summer Meeting of the American Association of Physics Teachers. I love summer meetings and I always come back inspired by what I saw. However, this time there were so many amazing things that I was almost overwhelmed. One of the highlights for me was a Millikan Lecture by Harvard Professor – […]

This summer has been filled with amazing scientific discoveries: Higgs Boson, Mars Landing, only to name a few – How exciting is that? I especially find it amazing that modern technology helps us understand and appreciate these discoveries at a very different level. For example, this web site above allows us to see what Curiosity […]

I am confident every educator should watch Ken Robinson’s presentation… I also really like how it is illustrated.

Every year something very neat and unexpected happens at AAPT National Meetings. It is of course super fun to see all my physics teaching friends and colleagues, but it is something I expect to happen. However, I am always going to the meetings in anticipation of good surprises and amazing “aha” moments. For example, a […]

For the past five days I have been attending the AAPT Summer Meeting in Philly. It was one of the best meetings I have ever attended. It was very interesting and very stimulating. I loved the Millikan Award lecture by Philip Sadler, as well as the plenary by Nima Arkani Hamed. I also enjoyed smaller […]

I just finished teaching  my summer course “Teaching Mathematics and Science Through Technologies”. It was one of the best course I have ever taught – thanks to an amazing group of students who decided to enroll in the course. It was three weeks of daily 3 hour long meetings that gave us an opportunity to […]

I really like “The Bing Bang Theory” show… I also think it is a great way to introduce and debate fun physics in the classroom. There are many pieces of excellent physics discussion here. Here are a few of my favourites. The last one was a scene of how the Bing Bang gang met. It […]
