• PHYS 123 Speaker Stephanie Chasteen

    April 9 (Friday) 1:10-2:10, LDC 104
    Stephanie Chasteen has used her physics PhD to pursue the teaching of science along a wide variety of correlated dimensions: Designing podcasts in the Exploratorium museum of science, writing about science for the public in print, producing stories for NPR and podcast, studying how junior physics majors learn best, and designing curriculum and workshops for high school teachers. She is particularly interested in how to communicate and teach science effectively, and will touch on some of the research behind teaching science as a science. She’ll explain how this multifaceted career path all makes sense — at least to her — and how she has managed to spin her physics training into a rich and rewarding career where not only is she her own boss, but she is always learning something new.
