Dr. Manne is an Associate Professor of Physics at the U of A. He received his Ph.D. in 1994 from UC Santa Barbara.
I will be meeting with Professor Manne at 10 am February 29 at his office.
Some of the questions I have prepared for Professor Manne follow;
- I've noticed that you do several different types of work for the department; teaching, research, outreach. How would you define your job as a whole?
- What types of writing do you do the most? As a researcher and professor.
- How do the different genres you use affect how you write? (conference v. paper v. lecture)
- Has your background prepared you particularly well or poorly for any specific type of writing?
- Could you show me any examples of these genres, or direct me where to find them? (esp. non-written)
- How do you use social media, Linkedin, reddit, if at all?
- What place, if any, do you think social media should have in the field.
- How is your writing effected by the different audiences you write for? (student v. colleagues v. general publication)
- Would you say that writing in Physics has changed since you first came into the field?
- How do you like to write? Where?
- Do you ever struggle with time management? How do you deal with it?
- How would you describe your writing process from start to finish?
- Is there a specific form of writing that you think I and other students at the same place in their academic careers as me should make sure we learn?
- Would you be open to answering a few follow up questions over E-mail as I put together my project?
Dr. Wolgemuth is an Associate Professor of Physics and Molecular and Cellular Biology. He received his Ph.D. in Physics in 2000 from the U of A.
I will be meeting with Professor Wolgemuth at 1 pm February 29 at his office.
Some of the questions I have prepared for Professor Wolgemuth follow;
- Your research bridges Physics and Biology. How would you define your job as a whole?
- What types of writing do you do the most? As a researcher and professor.
- Would you say there's a significant difference between writing in physics and biology?
- How do the different genres you use affect how you write? (conference v. paper v. lecture)
- Could you show me any examples of these genres, or direct me where to find them? (esp. non-written)
- How has your academic background prepared you for your writing in Biological Physics? (Physics background)
- How do you use social media, Linkedin, reddit, if at all?
- What place, if any, do you think social media should have in the sciences.
- How is your writing effected by the different audiences you write for? (student v. colleagues v. general publication and biologists v. physicists)
- How would you say writing in biological physics and related fields has developed over the past years?
- How do you like to write? Where?
- Do you ever struggle with time management? How do you deal with it?
- How would you describe your writing process from start to finish?
- Is there a specific form of writing that you think students looking to study an interdisciplinary field should make sure they learn?
- Would you be open to answering a few follow up questions over E-mail as I put together my project?
