My annotated syllabus for diversity/inclusion/decolonisation (a work in progress) now has PPT slides for every scientist, automatically generated, and indexed so you can instantly grab materials for the chapter you're teaching right now! #ITeachPhysics github.com/mglerner/Introduc…

I find that a lot of my students need support right now, but a lot more of them are quiet about the ways in which they need support. Teachers, I hope we're all reaching out actively.

I have now replaced the screen on my daughter's iPhone 13 mini. I think this is roughly equivalent to an advanced physics lab project.

Today's assignment in Science and Pseudoscience: use ChatGPT to write a 250-500 word reflection on the question "how can we distinguish science from pseudoscience?" Make ChatGPT write it either in the style of Shermer or in the style of Sagan. Exit ticket: how did ChatGPT do?

Just learned something cool: you know how I get a dozen emails a week from people claiming to have proved RH/3x 1/Goldbach/Fermat? In geoscience, professors get a dozen emails a week from people claiming they found a meteorite! ("No, sir, that's still not a meteorite...")
