>Now: who is next?

Bill Barowy, Ph.D. Physics. On the fly, working on making the teaching of
a highly technical computer structures course more human, also teaching a
computer modeling course and an interdisciplinary (anti)curriculum course.
Then, having fun with a modeling study of internet communications, and in
true physicist form, the study of the learning that occurs as activity
systems are collided together.

Q: How does a physicist figure out how a watch works?

A: He hits it with hammer and observes where the pieces go.

The latter study is like hitting a watch with a watch, and being one of the
pieces.
