A0.00001: The Black Hole Information Paradox Invited Speaker: |
Saturday, April 16, 2005 9:06AM - 9:42AM |
A0.00002: The collision between research and teaching: destructive crash or beneficial fusion? Invited Speaker: Every research active faculty member struggles to balance the time demands of research and classroom teaching. I will discuss how to minimize the inevitable conflict by finding ideas and strategies by which one activity can benefit the other. On the teaching side, examples include: 1) knowing the research literature (on learning) and using the research model of saving time and improving success by copying and building on past work; 2) making expert (i. e. your) reasoning, problem-solving strategies, and meaningful problems a major part of teaching; and 3) using technology effectively. On the research side, examples include using the research on learning and teaching both to improve the training of graduate research assistants and to present your research results in a more engaging meaningful fashion.

A0.00003: Mysteries of Heavy Flavors Invited Speaker: Copious numbers of bottom and charm quarks and tau leptons have been produced at accelerator facilities in the last few years. An international effort to study the decays of these heavy-flavor particles has led to a new level of precision in measurements of dominant decays and in sensitivity to very rare decays. What have we learned from these measurements? I will discuss the motivation for studying the decays of heavy-flavor particles and review some of the more intriguing experimental results and their possible implications. [Preview Abstract] |
