Saturday Morning Physics - When “Physic(k)s” Lost Its ‘k’ and other Language Quarks

October 18 When “Physic(k)s” Lost Its ‘k’ and other Language Quarks Anne Curzan, Geneva Smitherman Collegiate Professor of English, Linguistics, and Education (U-M) Good linguistic fun for science and word enthusiasts alike! Linguist Anne Curzan will talk about quirky etymologies, the metaphors that abound in scientific language (and whether that’s a problem), as well as how human narratives (and the pronoun “I”) dropped out of scientific writing.

About Saturday Morning Physics Physics is a fundamental science and provides the foundations for solving both cosmic mysteries and practical problems. In 1995, the University of Michigan Department of Physics began sharing some of the latest ideas in the field with the public in the Saturday Morning Physics lecture series. Designed for general audiences, the lectures are an opportunity to hear physicists discuss their work in easy-to-understand, non-technical terms. The multimedia presentations include hands-on demonstrations of the principles discussed, along with slides, video, and computer simulations.
