Retired Chem/Physics/Earth Sciences teacher. I'm interested in everything.
I like a good debate that introduces me to other perspectives. I don't waste much time with people who devolve to name-calling or insults, aside to call them out on it.
I think society performs at its best when we take care of others, especially the weakest among us. That means a strong social safety net, with "free" healthcare, education, and public transit. It's a dream, I know.
30+ years of explaining stuff to teenagers has left me with some habits... I'm not a mansplainer, but I *do* like to find ways to 'splain stuff to receptive ears 😊
I like dogs, cats, and astronomy pictures with a bias towards the shorter wavelengths (kinda leaves out all those lovely Hα pics 😄).
The first thing I look at when shopping for cars is headroom/legroom. Saves a lot of time.

#ITeachPhysics Here's a great "real-world" discussion of the forces involved in centripetal acceleration 😄 😱
(Looks like I'm going to have to add "qoto" to my spellcheck dictionary 🙄)
Okay, I think I've landed where I want to stay for a while. The generous character counts and the overall philosophy of qoto.org sold me 😊
I see I've managed to drag my followers with me... I *really* hope my follows make it over, too – that was my understanding but I'm not seeing it yet.
Anyway, 👋🏻
Proper introduction to follow.
Happy Carl Sagan Day!
Still in awe of this man, he's missed.
