Simplifying the complex and complexifying the rest: Ravings on physics, politics, education, motoring, and the Harvard comma.
You'd never guess from my comments Tuesday that I volunteered to be elected to the ExComm of our college's faculty governance system earlier that same day. Or maybe you would. Either way, I feel like Groucho Marx (do I want me as a member?). I darkly suspect that some of my colleagues prefer a potential loose cannon to the people who long ago "drank the kool aid". [*] Should be an interesting year.
[*] Full disclosure: I can, and have, used rubric in a sentence.
Dr. Pion is a pseudonym for a physicist whose research once included study of the pi meson. His expertise also includes the history of nuclear weapons and proliferation, but his main interest today is teaching "physics for scientists and engineers". He uses the pseudonym CCPhysicist when commenting in certain blogs because he teaches at a community college.
There is no connection at all between this blog and the real people (a veterinarian and a physician) known as Dr. Pion who show up in a Google search on this name.

You do it for the joys and rewards of service, of course. And all of the merit pay ;)
