Description
Physics has a bad press: it is seen as a boring discipline ever since High School days. There is no glamour to it, just toil and pain, and for many who engaged in it, the end sight is unemployment. Could it be that physicists don't know how to communicate what their field entails to? I will be tackling the problematics of making physics relevant to society and the scientists in general. I will also be dealing with the methodological and educational aspects of teaching and practicing physics, and the need to close the epistemic gap between physics teaching and the physicist understanding ... By the way, do physicists understand physics?
