My TED@NYC adventure<\/a> last fall didn’t turn into an invite to the big TED meeting, but it did lead to a cool opportunity that is another of the very cool developments I’ve been teasing for a while now: I’ve written some scripts for lessons to be posted with TED-Ed. The first of these, on particle-wave duality<\/a> just went live today.<\/p>\n

The content here is very similar to my talk last fall<\/a>, which is, in turn, very similar to Chapter 8 of Eureka<\/cite><\/a>: a historical survey of the development of quantum physics. I did the script for this, which was then turned over to professional animators, who did a great job of finding visuals to go with my words. It was a neat process to see in action, because they did a great job of capturing the basic feel I was after.<\/p>\n

I also wrote the supplemental material that’s on the TED-Ed video page, for the benefit of anyone who would like to use this in a class. It’s pretty challenging to come up with decent multiple-choice questions to go with this stuff…<\/p>\n

Anyway, that’s the latest of the cool things I’ve been working on and not able to share. There are more of these in the pipeline; I’m not able to say when they’ll go live, but you can expect an announcement here when they do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
