Areas of Interest
Particularly interested in ways of teaching physics to the general public and students in grades K-14 including but not limited to examining claims of the unusual (ancient astronauts, crop circles, the Bermuda Triangle, Bigfoot, UFOs, and so on) in the light of the physics principles required for their occurence.
