Profiles in research: Diane Bates
Sociologist Diane Bates came of age when the links between development and the environment were becoming ever—and, in some cases, disturbingly—clearer. What engrosses her as a researcher is the way societies willfully ignore the limits imposed by their natural surroundings and then respond once they’ve tipped the balance.
Teaching physics with toys
It turns out the Nintendo “Wiimote” can be used for more than just playing “Super Mario Brothers.” A team of TCNJ researchers is helping physics teachers use the handheld controllers to conduct classroom experiments.
