Nobel Laureate Carl Wieman: science pedagogy; debunking Malcolm Gladwell's 10,000 hour rule.

#NobelPrize #ScienceEducation #BoseEinstein As part of our “Nobel Minds” series, we welcome Carl Wieman, winner of the 2001 Nobel Prize in Physics. Though he’s known for his work on the Bose-Einstein condensation, we instead discuss pedagogy and how education can better serve both students and society. Carl and I talk about breakthroughs, creativity, and whether you can be an expert in anything by spending 10,000 hours practicing it.

Carl Wieman is the co-recipient of the 2001 Nobel Prize in Physics, shared with Eric Cornell and Wolfgang Ketterle, “for the achievement of Bose-Einstein condensation in dilute gases of alkali atoms, and for early fundamental studies of the properties of the condensates.” He is a physics professor at Stanford University. The Carl Wieman Science Education Initiative uses an evidence-based approach to improving science education.
