(I also realize this says something very tragic about my school and my generation.)<\/p>\n<p>I started learning about service opportunities in physics when I was interning at the American Physical Society in 2007. On a trip to an APS meeting in New Orleans, I accompanied the APS&#8217;s two outreach guru&#8217;s, Becky and Jessica, to a private, all-girl&#8217;s elementary school, where we did a demo show for two 3rd and 5th grad classes, and it was a revelation.&#8221;<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-tags\">(tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.delicious.com\/orzelc\/science\">science<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.delicious.com\/orzelc\/education\">education<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.delicious.com\/orzelc\/outreach\">outreach<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.delicious.com\/orzelc\/physics\">physics<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.delicious.com\/orzelc\/blogs\">blogs<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.delicious.com\/orzelc\/cocktail-party\">cocktail-party<\/a>)<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Prodigal Academic: Quick tips for TT interviews &#8220;It is interview season in my fields, and we have a few searches going on here at ProdigalU (and keeping me out of trouble).
