His research focuses on theoretical physics and cosmology,Įspecially the origin and constituents of the universe. Santa Barbara, and the University of Chicago. PhD in 1993 from Harvard University, and has worked at MIT, the Institute for Theoretical Physics at UC Sean Carroll is a physicist at the California Institute of Technology.AIP Gemant Award – presented to Sean Carroll.We hope to provide a look at the process of policy making as well as actions you might make to contribute to decisions about policies affecting physics and STEM education. This session brings together individuals who play pivotal roles in helping to shape policies and who provide information to policymakers. AAPT works with a number of partners to keep policymakers informed on the views of physics educators and to suggest appropriate policy options within the Association’s sphere of influence. Policymakers formulate decisions everyday that impact curriculum, standards, funding, and many other aspects of physics education at all levels.AAPT Symposium on Physics Education and Public Policy.
Come enjoy a fast paced session of great demos!.We can continue to bemoan the current state of affairs in the Physics community or we can begin to act at multiple levels to effect positive change in the broader community’s opinions and perceptions of Physics. Thinking not just politically but community-based, school district, or state science offices or departments are valid venues as well. While national efforts are certainly worthy topics, thinking locally or at the state level are equally important. While we tend to think on a national level and typically only politically when we consider advocacy, it does not need to be limited to those areas. You need not have attended this meeting to enroll in this workshop all are welcome. This workshop will follow up on these discussions to craft specific advocacy messages and outreach efforts. At the Minneapolis Meeting, attending section reps/officers had a discussio n about advocacy and spent time in one-to-one discussion about possible Physics advocacy ideas to address issues in their Section.Special Workshop for Section Representatives.
