Just learned about these today via a facebook post. Certainly enjoyed them as a physicist and educator, and can appreciate the work involved. But very disappointed that none of the entire crew of four was a woman - on the ones I have watched so far at least.

I definitely appreciate the work you put in. I think it would be great if at least one or two of the three people at the table asking questions etc. is a woman as a role model; there is a lot of research showing how important that can be- for girls and boys. You could find women physics majors or grad students or teachers to do that.

Science does not depend on the sex of the people doing it.
Garland, your comment makes me sad.

Thank you Jonathan. Kathleen, I totally agree that we need more female science role models. However, I am literally a one man company and I give everything away for free. I work roughly 25 hours per week at this for almost no money and am a part-time teacher so I have the time to make the videos. I can't pay anybody to be in my videos. I am at a complete loss as to how to get "at least one or two of the three people at the table asking questions etc. [be] a woman". I could cross dress, however, I don't think that will achieve the intended goal. I get that I could "find women physics majors or grad students or teachers to do that", however, I just don't have the time/money to make this happen.

Jonathan- I was so focused on the physics I didn't realize that all three of the narrators were in fact you. I thought you'd recruited three friends!! Sorry for my confusion- and please keep it up!

No worries Kathleen. I guess I am just too good at masking the fact that all three characters are played by me. 😇 Because of your comment (and others), I have contact our local Society of Women Engineers and asked if any of them want to play a character in my videos. I'd love to be able to do this, it just increases the work and time quite a bit. We will see...

Yep, I make physics videos in the hope that you can learn physics. If you are a physics teacher, I am very hopeful that you will want to use them to help flip your physics class. Archives
