ArticlesMaking Physics “Less Scary”
In her teaching, Bahar tries to include elements of her research in order to show non-physics majors how “you can be in a physics department and also do biology.” This interdisciplinary approach makes physics seem “less scary." Students in Bahar’s upper-level courses have toured her lab and seen the FMRI (Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging) equipment used in the brain imaging study.
If you use it wisely, and you have a very gifted student to help with your research, the money from the Board grant really helps.
