I am a retired physics professor /researcher, new to thegroup. I want to
introduce a thread I did not find while lurking over pastpostings:
interest in science
Many bright students, especially girls, have little
courses. "Science is for nerds and certainly wont payas well as Wall
Street or legal firms" is their view. Changing thisattitude may be more
important than better instruction in science classes. Somemay consider
this only a self-serving objective of science teachers,but I think that
everyone needs substantial understanding of the world theylive in. I
note, without any need to do so for this group, thatwithout
scientifically founded knowledge and the technological /medical progress
that follows from it, mankind would still be in the darkages.
