The first lecture on July 20 was at a public seminar titled “Superstrings, Multiverses and the Future of Physics.” The second seminar on July 21 was research-oriented and Emam presented his current research interests in a talk titled, “The Rise of Symplectic and Split-complex Geometries in Calabi-Yau Compactifications.” In addition, Emam collaborated with colleagues on a discussion panel on July 26 titled, “The Theory of Everything and the Future of Physics,” organized by an academic group in the Egyptian city of Alexandria.
Angela Pagano
Angela Pagano, Biological Sciences Department, along with adolescence education: earth science majors and SUNY Cortland Noyce Scholars Brendan Creegan and Eric Reisweber, presented “Using Stories to Teach Science” at the Noyce NE Regional Conference held from March 20-22 in Philadelphia, Pa. Placing scientific information into a relevant context is important for student engagement and deeper understanding of scientific content. For example, the framework for the Next Generation Science Standards suggests the use of history of science stories or cases as an important approach for providing the context for developing students’ understanding of the nature of science. Presenters gave an overview of the importance of communicating science, worked though a selection of activities, and provided examples of stories that can be incorporated into the secondary science curriculum.
