I got a nice surprise yesterday when I read the minutes of the March 2003 minutes of NC Section of the American Assoc. of Physics Teachers. One of my students (Ji-Seon Park) and I had attended the meeting and she had presented her paper on "Orbital Properties of Saturn's Moons". We had left after her presentation and did not stay around for the business meeting. She was competing in the Undergraduate papers category, and we really didn't think we had much chance against the college papers. I was surprised, then when I read in the meeting minutes this notice:
"Results of the voting for Best Papers: Undergraduate,
Ji-Seon Park of Cape Fear high School for "Orbital
Properties of Saturn's Moons" and Pedagogical,
Michael Paesler of North Carolina State University
for "Anemochoric Palynomorphic Investigations
of Paleoatmospheres: Using the physics of the movement
of fossil spores in wind to study the history of
the Earth's atmosphere."
Another success story for HOU.
