AAPT Member Spotlight
Meet Lin
I have always been awed by how Mother Nature is performing wonders around us. The sun, clouds, rain drops, lightening and many man-made gadgets like magnets, light bulbs, and gyroscopes all fascinate me. In my early twenties, I decided to pursue a graduate degree in physics to understand them all. It was then that I heard about physics education research (PER) and came to realize how exciting and fulfilling to study physical science and human science in tandem. I finally made up my mind to focus on PER and went to the Physics Department at North Carolina State University for my doctoral degree. There, I become a member of the American Association of Physics Teachers (AAPT) and attended my first AAPT meeting in the summer of 2004.
