“I used to be the largest dairy consumer on the planet. I used to eat so much dairy and meat. The more that I looked into the dairy industry, the more that I saw that it was the singular, most inhumane industry on the planet, that we've all been lied to, including myself, for years. I always believed that the picture on the milk carton, the cow standing next to her calf in the green field with the red barn in the back was true. It’s certainly the complete opposite.” – Richard (Kudo) Couto Richard (Kudo) Couto is the founder of Animal Recovery Mission (ARM), an organization solely dedicated to investigating extreme animal cruelty cases. ARM has led high-risk undercover operations that have resulted in the shutdown of illegal slaughterhouses, animal fighting rings, and horse meat trafficking networks. Recently, they released a damning investigation into two industrial dairy farms outside of Phoenix, Arizona supplying milk to Coca-Cola’s Fairlife brand. What they uncovered was systemic animal abuse, environmental violations, and a devastating betrayal of consumer trust. While Fairlife markets its products as being sourced "humanely," ARM’s footage tells a very different story—one of suffering, abuse, and corporate complicity. Despite the evidence, this story has been largely ignored by mainstream media—likely due to Coca-Cola’s massive influence and advertising dollars.…

Think like a Physicist? Physicists have their own culture, and part of that culture is a kind of collective, self reflection. One of the most common targets? Creative problem solving. If you want to see a physicist student panic, as them to model the electron configuration of a benzene ring. As undergraduates spend weeks studying the electron configuration of the hydrogen atom in a quantum mechanics course. Weeks. And that’s just ONE atom. How are you going to model an entire, super complicated organic chemical like Bezene?! Why. With Symmetry, of course. Thanks for checking us out!

Incentive homework without having to grade it Last week we discussed using quizzes as a poll for student’s comprehension of the material. This week, we’re turning that idea on its head. Let’s discuss the use of quizzes to motivate students to LEARN the material. Compulsory homework motivates students to only do problems once. And some problems are probably worth doing multiple times.It’s self-defeating all around. So how do you get the notoriously short-time-horizon motivated high school and college students to do their homework? The open-homework quiz. Thanks for checking us out!

Testing your Deliberate Practice The most impactful advice for learning math and science I ever receive came - unsurprisingly - in a physics class. It was an electrodynamics class. It’s heavy subject full of complicated equations, solutions and derivations. Even for an advanced class, the material was so thick and so dense that even the professor felt it necessary to share some studying tips. " Do the derivation three times without looking at your notes. When you can accomplish that, you're ready for the exam." This approach is about gauging your own understanding of the material.

Polling with Quizzes The usual grading cycle of weekly homework and exams can delay feedback to the instructor by well over two weeks. Assessing student understanding with low stakes quizzes can both catalyze learning and serve as a classroom poll of understanding. When work is to be shown, usually student mistakes fall into definite patterns. You can quickly sort the quizzes and grade on those equivalence classes. Since they're low stakes anyway, detailed grading rubrics like you'd impose on a exam aren't relevant here. Pass / Fail or 10/5/2 work just fine. Thanks for checking us out!

Learning as Training Today I'll relate one of my first "ah ha!" moments of teaching mathematics, where the prescriptive instincts of a traditional education in math fails students. There’s a strong parallel between athletic training and studying mathematics- or really any kind of technical skill: be it professional cooking or coding. Grinding repetition. Constant drilling. You have to be able to perform the same action, with precision, at a moments notice, which means doing it over and over and over again. There’s no shortcut to getting fit, and there’s no shortcut for building your own capacity. The boring work matters. A lot. But here’s the thing. All that training is what helps you through panic and confusion. Be it during a test or a conversation - or even while trying to teach! And that panic ACCELERATES the learning. It’s that frantic grasping around for ideas, feeling like a fool. These are the moments we want to encourage and cultivate. These are the moments were we grow. This is that grinding repetition converts into knowledge. Confronting your confusion is going to be a theme on this show. Thanks for checking us out!

Sean here from the Pasayten Institute. If you haven’t heard us, we’re an organization devoted to development of physics knowledge, for everyone, without barriers. In our new Accelerated Physics podcast, we are aiming specifically to discuss matters of learning and teaching physics. I’ve taught math and physics and facilitated that learning professionally at almost every level: from third grade arithmetic to graduate mathematical methods. The bulk of it, though, has been directed at first year college students: mechanics, electromagnetism, calculus, that sort of thing. These experiences have shaped the way I understand Physics - and how I learn new things myself, and so I wanted to share them with you. This podcast will have something for everyone: we’ll share practical stories in learning math and physics, like how to pick up new ideas faster through repetition, and how to know when you’re ready for a test or a quiz or even a presentation. We’ll also share some hard earned lessons in teaching: Like how to support a mindful approach to instruction and assessment. How to incentivize students to do their homework without simply awarding or subtracting points. And what the role of quizzes might be in teaching, and how it can be improved. Besides tips and tricks, we’ll share basic concepts to big ideas: like what circuits have to do with quantum mechanics, how special relativity impacts us - literally every day - and how the Doppler effect can teach us about the earliest moments - and the farthest reaches - of our universe. Whether you’re a student or an instructor, you’ll find a wealth of ideas both practical and inspirational. Here at the Pasayten Institute, we’re convinced that like photons, perspectives should be exchanged, and often! Now. Full disclosure. We’re putting this show together to announce our new service: the physics accelerator. The physics accelerator is not about learning physics persay - it’s about accelerating that learning. We’ll even have a product for instructors too! Our aim to to get you up to speed, faster. Like anything, it’s hard work, but we’ll be there to help you through it. If this is at all interesting to you - or you’re just interested in supporting our work generally - subscribe to this show and keep an ear out for it. As always. Thank you so much for listening and being a part of our community.…
