FOEP Membership

We have a winner!

FOEP would like to congratulate the winner of the FOEP membership drive raffle, Dr. Nate Tompkins from Brandeis University. Nate won a Pebble SmartWatch!

Nate says, “I signed up for the Forum on Outreach and Engaging the Public because my academic goal is to bring the wonders of physics to the public… At the March Meeting I saw a community of likeminded scientists that I look forward to learning from and potentially partnering with.”

When asked about his recent work, Nate said, “My current position at Brandeis is the MRSEC Assistant Director of Research and Education, which includes coordinating and leading various outreach activities in Waltham, MA. Most recently I taught a curriculum development continuing education course for current high school science teachers entitled Partnership for Curriculum Development, which connected science educators with science researchers to develop novel curricula connecting the process of science with the process of education. This upcoming year I am organizing a series of events with a similar focus to bring researchers and educators together to show the passion and process of science.”

We are excited to have Nate as a member of FOEP! Nate was selected at random from qualified entrants. New FOEP members were entered once. For current FOEP members, they were entered twice for each person they signed up.
