[more]Topic: "Helping Students Connect Meaning and Mathematic" (Video) ABSTRACT: Mathematics is the language of physics, yet mathematics may sometimes seem simply as a way to calculate numbers to our students. This talk will focus on several ways that students do use mathematics to do physics (some productive, others not as much), and how we can promote student use of the productive ways of using mathematics.
[more]Topic: "Star Formation Feedback: Do Stars Practice Birth Control?" (Video) ABSTRACT: The link between turbulence and feedback in star formatting environments and protostellar jets remains controversial. Star forming clouds are highly inefficient with only 10% to 30% of cloud becoming stars. In this talk I will present a general overview of how stars may control their own formation efficiency by feeding energy back into the cloud which created them.
