I'm in the midst of some major writing commitments right now, so posting frequency may slow for a bit. I am trying to plan out how to write some accessible content about some recent exciting work in a few different material systems.
Energy : Alan Alda Center for Communicating Science, posting. Alternatif Energy
Tomorrow I'll be a participant in an all-day workshop that Rice's Center for Teaching Excellence will be hosting with representatives from the Alan Alda Center for Communicating Science - the folks responsible for the Flame Challenge, a contest about trying to explain a science topic to an 11-year-old. I'll write a follow-up post sometime soon about what this was like.
