The day the alpha version of the shockwave plug-in was released
I thought that it would be a great tool to use for letting people
play with science on the web. While trying to finish my thesis
I created a few of these science modules in my spare time to let
people see the potential.
I have a broad range of ideas for this site including virtual biology,
astronomy, chemistry, and of course physics (since I recently
completed my Ph.D. in that field) I'd like to keep all the files
to a rather small size since people generally don't feel like
spending time waiting for things to download, but even small files
can provide great demos. If I had more time I would have several
web pages that describe the science behind the "flash" of the
demo but unfortunately I don't have that much time right now.
I recently graduated with my Ph.D. in Nuclear Physics and currently
have a high contact hour (>20 hours/week) teaching position at
the University of Michigan. For next year I have accepted a faculty
position at the University of New Haven.
Feel free to drop me a e-mail message at pfaff@ExploreScience.com and let me know what you thought of all this stuff. Feel free
to visit my Home Page (last updated many, many months ago...), or the main Cyber Maze HP where there are many fun things to see and do (although I haven't
actually 'made' it there in quite a while).
I hope you enjoyed your visit to the "Shocking World of Science"
site. If you have ideas for the site for future development, let
me know!
