News and Announcements
- On Thursday next week (October 6), Physics Professor Robert Brown will give the 2005 Robert Cherry National Teaching Award Finalist Lecture: “A Simple View of MRI and Its Rich View of Us and Our Brain.” The talk will take place at 4:15 p.m. in the Rockefeller Building, room 301. As one of three finalists for the Cherry Teaching Award, Brown will receive $15,000, with an additional $10,000 for the physics department to use toward professional development in teaching for its faculty. Thursday’s lecture is the first of four talks that Brown will give this fall at Case and Baylor University, which awarded him the Cherry Award honor early this year. If Brown is selected as the Cherry Award winner in 2006, he will receive an additional $200,000 for personal academic use and $25,000 for the physics department.
