We all teach, in some form, every single day. For many academics that means a class full of students eager to learn. And yet we are so very rarely taught to teach. Here we introduce one simple morsel that can improve our way of explaining something immensely: deciding what you want to say, and then saying it.
The more we know the more certain we become. But do we come closer to the truth? We’d all like to believe we do, but that may not be the case. There’s a danger to that certainty. We can read the narrative we want into data, strengthening our resolve and isolating us from the arguments of others.
Prof. Karin Oberg brings together the worlds of laboratory chemistry, numerical simulations and observations to better understand the plethora of planets in our galaxy.
Prof. Phil Hopkins studies the formation of the many components of our universe — from galaxies and supermassive black holes to stars and planets.
Prof. Wendy Freedman’s work focuses on a parameter that lies at the heart of cosmology — the Hubble constant.
Light pollution is a concern for many astronomy enthusiasts and stargazers, but for Prof. Martin Aubé its effects are a lifelong investigation.
