Comment on SFU liaison librarians’ fresh approach to creating clear research assignment instructions by Leah Sarson

It’s not only instructors that the librarians and library liaisons are willing to help. As a staff member, I found Rebecca to be a great resource when I first arrived at SFU. Navigating the library resources can be tricky – thanks for being such a big help, Rebecca!

Comment on Leigh Palmer Receives Lifetime Achievement Award by David Rubeli

David Rubeli — Tue, 25 May 2010 21:36:58 +0000

The news article mentions that Dr. Palmer gave a talk at the BCAPT meeting about “the physics behind the Real-D technology used in Avatar” before the award was announced. That topic strikes me as one that many motivate many students to learn about physics because most are familiar with films but at the same time likely unaware of the scientific principles behind the technologies of movie-making. Can you think of other examples of how exemplary teachings make the familiar seem strange or the strange seem familiar?
