Simplifying the complex and complexifying the rest: Ravings on physics, politics, education, motoring, and the Harvard comma.
... is to run into former students who are doing well, or even graduating, in their chosen field.
Today I learned that two former students were part of a team that finished in third place (and may have had a chance to win) in a state-wide mechanical engineering design competition. Awesome! Now they know more than I do about some subjects, and can even put it into practice. I live (and teach) for moments like that.
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.
