He can leap a tall building in a single bound! ... But what does that
actually mean? Well, in terms of the mechanics behind it? This week
we're talking with Professor Dan Claes, professor of physics at the
University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Prof. Claes is well known on the
convention circuit and in classrooms for educating students and nerds on
the physics behind some of our favorite super-heroes. Join us this week
as we sit down to talk about the intersection between nerdery, physics
and education.
