Carl giving a talk next tuesday. “Science Education in the 21st Century: Using the Tools of Science to Teach Science”

By ,

That is Carl Wieman, Nobel Laureate in Physics (2001). This one is hosted by the Pharmaceutical Sciences Graduate Student Society and their home Faculty. It’s touted as a “professional development workshop” so should be enlightening to many.

Details? November 20th, 12pm in IRC 3 (2194 Health Sciences Mall).

Carl, by the way, heads the UBC Carl Wieman Science Education Initiative. (Hmmm… an initiative named after you – no pressure, eh?), and has pretty much switched his academic gears from looking at Bose–Einstein condensates to focusing on science education.
