My latest podcast is a real treat, especially for educators... Carl Wieman won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 2001 for his work on Bose Einstein Condensate. He then used his prize money to start pHET Animations, which I am sure many of you know of. He is internationally renowned for his work on improving the teaching of physics through researched based practices. In this podcast , we talk about all those things, as well as his upbringing, his views on science communication and advice to students and educators . Hop you like it and please share
