ilovephysics.com Featured in Science!
By Christopher Moore
ilovephysics.com was featured in the November 3rd, 2006 edition of Science Magazine’s “Best of the Web in Science.” Under the “education” sub-heading, the editors at Science have this to say about my simple little website:
The target audience for I Love Physics is everyone from students struggling with their homework to professors looking for timely examples for the classroom. The site from J. Christopher Moore, a teacher at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, includes a forum in which students from high school through college level post and chew over baffling problems. In the blog section, Moore explores topics that include cheaper alternatives for fuel-cell catalysts and the optimum angle for punting a football.
First, a clarification: although I was a teaching assistant while working on my M.S. in Applied Physics and I have been an adjunct for laboratory sections, I do not currently teach at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU). I am a research assistant finishing my Ph.D. in Chemical Physics, which means I haven’t taught a section at VCU for several years. I have taught introductory courses in physics at St. Catherine’s School and J.R. Tucker High School, though.
Second: I’m pretty excited that Science finds this site worthy enough for discussion. I consider that one hell of a compliment.
For those that found this site via Science, feel free to poke around and join in the discussions in our forums. Also, check out some of our videos to get an idea of how talented physics students are here in Richmond, VA.
