- mncharity 7y agoYears ago I saw a talk by someone who built mems oscillators. They were fervent in declaring something like "Brownian motion... it is evil! EVIL!!!". I've since wondered if you could leverage that for science education. For every phenomena and property, find someone who deeply emotionally cares about it, loves or hates it, and create an interview clip. To give topics emotional weight, and shift them from unfamiliar incoming trivia, into something that at least someone really cares about.
