The Internet facilitates ignorance as readily as it does knowledge. It allows us to build reinforcements around our errors. It allows us to share a fake image and wave away concerns because the target of the image is a shared enemy for your in-group. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/01/07/how-spot-photoshopped-image-or-problem-with-internet/ -

"A Decade On The Physics Grand Challenge Problem" Students present the results of the Honors Physics Grand Challenge Problem for Fall 2015. When I arrived at SMU in 2009, I was not a teacher. I was a researcher. Unfortunately, it has been common in our field to leave people unprepared for the teaching environment. When I was in graduate school, there either were no ⦠Continue reading "A Decade On â The Physics Grand Challenge Problem" https://steve.cooleysekula.net/blog/2019/12/31/a-decade-on-the-physics-grand-challenge-problem/ ( Feed URL: http://steve.cooleysekula.net/blog/feed/ ) -

"Road Trip to Wisconsin" It is day 1 of our annual road trip from Dallas to Park Falls, Wisconsin. The weather in Texas â and in general across the U.S. â has lately been anomalously high.

We will make it to Kansas ⦠Continue reading "Road Trip to Wisconsin" https://steve.cooleysekula.net/blog/2019/12/28/road-trip-to-wisconsin/ ( Feed URL: http://steve.cooleysekula.net/blog/feed/ ) -

"Vegetation" When work ends and a break begins, there is a period in between that is painful and difficult. There is the guilt of not working; there is the fear that there is a task left unfinished. There is the sense that one needs to be moving, because one was already moving before. Days pass, while ⦠Continue reading "Vegetation" https://steve.cooleysekula.net/blog/2019/12/26/vegetation/ ( Feed URL: http://steve.cooleysekula.net/blog/feed/ ) -
