MY RESEARCH
In recent years I have
worked in three main areas. These
include a) basic physics research, b) physics education studies, and c)
communicating science to the broader public.
Some recent publications in the first two areas can be found here, and a complete list can be found on my resume. For some
examples in category c), see a 7 min long
multimedia presentation: “Relativity:
Adventures of Albert and Marie,” which was a finalist in the 2005 Pirelli Relativity Challenge. Other examples include my 20 books, the most recent of which include "Eight Preposterous
Propositions"(2003) and "Nine Crazy
Ideas in Science: A Few Might Even Be True"(2001).
