In this lighthearted talk Dominic Walliman gives us four guiding principles for easy science communication and unravels the myth that quantum physics is difficult to understand, it’s all in how it’s explained.
Dominic Walliman is a physicist, and award-winning science writer. He received his PhD in quantum device physics from the University of Birmingham and currently works at D-Wave Systems Inc., a quantum computing company in Vancouver. Dominic grew up reading science books and remembers vividly the excitement of discovering the mind-boggling explanations that science gives us about the Universe. If he can pass on this wonder and enjoyment to the next generation, he will consider it a job well done.

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Engineering professor Barbara Oakley is co-teaching one of the worlds largest online classes, «Learning How to Learn», www.coursera.org/course/learning.
She know firsthand how it feels to struggle with math. Dr. Oakley flunked her way through high school math and science courses, before enlisting in the U.S. Army immediately after graduation. When she saw how her lack of mathematical and technical savvy severely limited her options—both to rise in the military and to explore other careers—she returned to school with a new found determination to re-tool her brain to master the very subjects that had given her so much trouble throughout her entire life.
Barbara Oakley, PhD, PE is a professor of engineering at Oakland University in Rochester, Michigan. Her research focuses on the complex relationship between neuroscience and social behavior, and has been described as “revolutionary” by the Wall Street Journal. Oakley’s books have been praised by many leading researchers and writers, including Harvard’s Steven Pinker and E. O. Wilson, and National Book Award winner Joyce Carol Oates. Her book A Mind for Numbers: How to Excel in Math and Science (Even If You Flunked Algebra), will be published by Tarcher-Penguin on July 31, 2014.
Prior to her academic career, Oakley rose from private to captain in the U.S. Army, during which time she was recognized as a Distinguished Military Scholar. She met her husband, Philip, when she was working at the South Pole Station in Antarctica. Her experiences with well-intentioned altruism were shaped by her work as a Russian translator on Soviet trawlers on the Bering Sea during the early 1980s. Oakley was designated as an NSF New Century Scholar—she is also a recipient of the Oakland University Teaching Excellence Award (2013) and the National Science Foundation’s Frontiers in Engineering New Faculty Fellow Award. Oakley is an elected Fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering.

ماذا يدور في ذهنك؟ ماالذي تفكر فيه يا صديقي؟ أتفكر أن مهنة التعليم اختارتك أم أنك اخترتها ؟ هل تأسف على اليوم الذي دخلت في هذا المجال ؟ أم أنك تحمد الله نهار مساء على اختيارك لتكون معلما ؟ كيف تنظر إلى نفسك بعد خمس سنوات من الآن؟ وهل تمتلك الجراة والناظور لترى نفسك بعد عشرة سنوات؟ من هو المعلم الذي أثر فيك إيجابا أو سلبا ؟ من هو المعلم الذي لا يمكن أن تنسى فضله عليك؟ ماذا تقول لابنك إذا فاجأك برغبته أن يكون معلما ؟ مثلك ؟ وماذا يكون موقفك إذا أتاك معلم يطلب يد ابنتك ؟ ما الذي ينبغي فعله لننهض بالتعليم في بلادنا؟ هل بإمكاننا أن ننافس اليابان والهند ؟؟ أو تركيا ؟ أو…
أسئلة أحب أن نتداولها فيما بيننا لنرى الطريق نحو المستقبل، ولنعرف يقينا إلى أين نتجه ، وإن كنا نتجه نحو متقبلنا بإرادتنا إم أننا نسير ضمن الركب والسلام
What is going on in your mind at this minute? What are you thinking of my friend? Wondering if you chose to be a teacher or the teaching process chose us? Do you regret the day you entered this field? Or are you thanking God day and night on your choice to be a teacher? How do you see yourself in five years from now? Do you have the ability to see yourself in ten years? Who is the teacher that influenced you positively? Who is the teacher that influenced you negatively? Who is the teacher who cannot forget your bounty? What will you say to your son surprised if his desire to be a teacher? Like you? What will be your reaction if a teacher asked for your daughters hand in marriage? What should you do to enhance the educational process in our country? Can we compete one day, with Japan and India?? Or Turkey? Questions I would like to share with you to see our way forward, to know exactly where we are going and IF WE CAN DO ANYTHING.
