Educator

Describe the nature of your work related to education, outreach, and/or research to help your colleagues get to know you. You may wish to include areas of expertise or advice that you could share with others in the network (including research topics, programs administered, grants, or experience not reflected in your current work). Also, if you are willing to collaborate on projects, you could note that here.

I am a high school Physics teacher who during the summer does research in nanotechnology as a RET in the MRSEC program. Part of this time we develop or refine activities that relate to our research to share with other Educators. These activities are available on the RET website on the MRSEC page at UNL. I would like others on this site to share their expertise, and ideas for developing more lessons, or improving what's already there. Thanks.
