Enjoy this Star Wars opening credit crawl I made for my #PHYS1303 class. #MayThe4thBeWithYou ! http://www.physics.smu.edu/sekula/phys1303/index.html#starwars https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/992425160417275907/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/50345 -
Stephen Sekula (steve@chirp.cooleysekula.net)'s status on Friday, 04-May-2018 15:01:07 UTC Stephen Sekula This semester in a classroom very close... it's Physics! I had a lot of fun teaching #PHYS1303 this semester. Here's just how fun physics is for me: https://t.co/2jGe09EPxT #MayTheFourthBeWithYou In conversation from NavierStokesApp permalink Attachments

Stephen Sekula (steve@chirp.cooleysekula.net)'s status on Thursday, 03-May-2018 13:31:33 UTC Stephen Sekula The last lecture of #PHYS1303 this semester: "Deep Learning the Dark Cosmos"! A shallow dive into dark matter, big data, and deep learning. I will touch on introductory physics concepts, where applicable. https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/992033541163835392/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/50313 In conversation from NavierStokesApp permalink Attachments

Stephen Sekula (steve@chirp.cooleysekula.net)'s status on Tuesday, 24-Apr-2018 13:41:21 UTC Stephen Sekula Last day for #PHYS1303 students to up-vote student-suggested topics for the last lecture of the semester on May 3. Poll closes at 9. What will they choose? (currently, 32/93 enrolled students have rank-voted). https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/988772175158108160/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/50164 In conversation from NavierStokesApp permalink Attachments

Stephen Sekula (steve@chirp.cooleysekula.net)'s status on Friday, 20-Apr-2018 13:21:20 UTC Stephen Sekula Students in #PHYS1303 are up-voting topics for the content of the last lecture of the semester ("Special Topics"). With 7 participants, so far "The Atom" is in the lead, with "The Standard Model and the Higgs Particle" a close second. We need more votes to get a clearer picture! https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/987317891640020993/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/50066 In conversation from NavierStokesApp permalink Attachments

Stephen Sekula (steve@chirp.cooleysekula.net)'s status on Thursday, 19-Apr-2018 12:41:53 UTC Stephen Sekula It's time for Exam 3 in #PHYS1303. This is the last exam before the final in May. We will close the semester with rotational motion, energy, and momentum. Students will start up-voting today for special topics in the last lecture. https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/986945863820939264/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/50033 In conversation from NavierStokesApp permalink Attachments

Stephen Sekula (steve@chirp.cooleysekula.net)'s status on Saturday, 14-Apr-2018 23:21:24 UTC Stephen Sekula But what IS gravity? #PHYS1303 students can watch the last 17 minutes of their next lecture video to get a peek behind the curtain of introductory physics to see a deeper reality that likes beyond introductory physics. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQYMNS5Vjug&feature=youtu.be https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/985295217959096327/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/49899 In conversation from NavierStokesApp permalink Attachments

But first, let's discuss with students the importance of having the cameras rolling. Becausey possible death will happen exactly once. #PHYS1303 https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/982381554738573312/video/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/49629 In conversation from NavierStokesApp permalink Attachments

Stephen Sekula (steve@chirp.cooleysekula.net)'s status on Tuesday, 03-Apr-2018 22:51:16 UTC Stephen Sekula 1 bed of nails. 1 professor. 1 smaller bed of nails. 1 30-lb concrete block. 1 face shield. 1 sledgehammer. And 1 determined teaching assistant with a mean swing. #PHYS1303 https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/981301618363846656/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/49552 In conversation from NavierStokesApp permalink Attachments

Stephen Sekula (steve@chirp.cooleysekula.net)'s status on Tuesday, 03-Apr-2018 12:02:01 UTC Stephen Sekula A cinder block weighs about 32 pounds. A breaking force of about 1000N is required to shatter the material. Concrete.

Stephen Sekula (steve@chirp.cooleysekula.net)'s status on Tuesday, 03-Apr-2018 11:11:11 UTC Stephen Sekula It only takes 2 pounds of force applied to a sharp object to puncture human skin. Let's get 3000 nails together and do some physics. #PHYS1303 https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/981125857346572288/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/49535 In conversation from NavierStokesApp permalink Attachments

Stephen Sekula (steve@chirp.cooleysekula.net)'s status on Thursday, 22-Mar-2018 13:41:21 UTC Stephen Sekula It's Exam 2 today in #PHYS1303. Uniform circular motion, relative motion, and Newton's Laws. Time to get your "Newt on"? I am relatively sure this is going to go great for the students? My puns are centripetal because they go around in circles? Somebody decelerate me. https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/976813725951905792/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/49194 In conversation from NavierStokesApp permalink Attachments
