Rik's Mind Podcast Ep. 67- Dr. Todd Duncan, PhD: Pacific University professor responds to Dr. Loeb
Today we are joined by Dr. Todd Duncan, PhD. Dr. Duncan is a cosmologist whose teaching and writing help to connect everyday human experience to a big picture, cosmic perspective. He currently teaches physics at Pacific University and directs the Science Integration Institute. Dr. Duncan combines a research background in physics with experience teaching science concepts to a wide range of audiences, from elementary school to graduate courses and programs for the general public. He’s the author of "Glimpses of Wonder," and coauthor of "Your Cosmic Context: An Introduction to Modern Cosmology."
Todd received his undergraduate degree in physics from the University of Illinois, an M. Phil. from Cambridge University as a Churchill Scholar, and a doctorate in astrophysics from the University of Chicago where he was an NSF Fellow. He joined the faculty of the Center for Science Education at Portland State University in 1997 to pursue his interest in interdisciplinary "big questions" research and its application to science education. In 1998 he founded the Science Integration Institute as a forum for people looking to explore what it means to be human in the universe as understood by modern science. You can find more about Dr. Duncan from his book “Glimpses of Wonder” on Amazon, LinkedIn and at Pacific University.
