I'm putting together slides for my students to summarize the #CAPCongress25 and I decided to include snaps of my (extensive) notes where possible. I don't think people emphasize note-taking enough any more and it's an invaluable element in my arsenal of learning tools. Here's a look at what my notes look like. I've always felt they should be readable but expressive.
The Canadian Association of Physicists marks both a remarkable person and a remarkable (and terrible) time in history with their Herzberg Medal. Luise Herzberg, his spouse and research colleague, faced persecution by the Nazis in the 1930s. A colleague from #USask arranged a pathway to a new life in Canada.
Herzberg won the 1971 #NobelPrize in Chemistry for insights into molecular structure.
Headed from Toronto to Saskatoon today for the annual Canadian Association of Physicists (#CAP) Congress.
