Carl Weiman: Effective Teaching Should Create Students Who Think Like Scientists

Carl Weiman is Physics Nobelist for the production, in 1995 with Eric Allin Cornell, of the first true Bose–Einstein condensate.

In 2007 Wieman joined the University of British Columbia to head a well-endowed science education initiative.  He is active speaking out for STEM education, inquiry teaching, and a definite change in traditional science teaching habits.  Weiman is instrumental in organizing the Celebrate Science at the 3rd USA Science and Engineering Festival to be held in Washington, D.C. in April 2014. http://www.usasciencefestival.org/about/advisorshttp://www.usasciencefestival.org/about/advisors
