Below is a reminder about Eric Mazur's satellite broadcast on Tuesday, Nov. 12.
University and college physics depts. can show this broadcast to faculty
and student teaching assistants, as well as to pre-service teachers. Also,
local high school physics teachers will appreciate an invitation to view
it, since many don't have satellite capabilities. The program can be
videotaped and shown at local physics alliance meetings, too.
Cheers,
Jane Jackson
