RE: Three years of busy life in coffee, science and teaching

In fact, I have always loved coffee, and I actually wrote this post while sipping a nice cup. Fun fact: as the current head of the BSc Physics department, my first move as a head was to order a proper coffee machine with a grinder so that we can choose our favorite beans!

About the use of AI in assignments .. that's a really big issue. I would be very interested to read a few posts about how students can use AI while developing an understanding and a critique about the subject they write about. (if you would consider sharing your experience about it)

I will think about writing a post on this if I find the time. In my experience, the best use of AI is as a private tutor for exercises and clarifications. But, as always, the AI can be wrong, so developing critical judgment is essential. This is our role as living creatures ;)

(Last but not least) Also happy to hear about your family updates, glad to know you have the opportunity to spend time with your son; Its precious to him, and you! Do you think he will also be interested in STEM/Physics?

All the best to you and yours as well! My older son (14, just entered high school, about 2.5 years from university) is definitely physics-oriented. Last year, I even brought him inside the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, though of course he does not remember visiting CERN every day when he was around 1! My younger one (10 years old) seems more interested in healthcare and helping people, but still has time to change his mind 15 times...

I will try to pop in more often, I promise!
