Physics as a Street Art | Tatiana Erukhimova | TEDxTAMU

Tatiana Erukhimova explores the wonders of the scientific community and encourages everyone to participate in science fairs across the world. To her, science should be enjoyed by everyone whether or not they are a part of the scientific community.

Tatiana Erukhimova received a Ph.D. in Physics from the Russian Academy of Sciences in 1999 and joined TAMU in 2001. She has coordinated and organized ten successful Physics & Engineering Festivals attended by thousands of visitors from all over Texas and other states. She developed the Physics Show: an interactive presentation involving entertaining physics demonstrations and hands-on exhibits. Since 2007, she has done over 200 shows attended by 16,000 people of all ages, from elementary school children to adults. Currently, Dr. Erukhimova teaches freshman physics classes at TAMU. She has received multiple awards for teaching and public outreach including the University-Level and College-Level Distinguished Achievement Awards in Teaching from the Association of Former Students. Dr. Erukhimova shares her experience and passion for physics education and outreach through invited presentations at Texas A&M and international conferences.

Science needs such charismatic & enthusiastic people.
Thanks Prof. Tatiana !

I used to have a physics teacher like her. She was an astronomer and always made physics, astronomy, and even quantum physics fun and understandable.

[danijelavalenzuela]

Very inspiring! Makes me want to be her science student. Anyone would be lucky to be in her class but more then students I think there are teachers who need her as well. Teachers who don’t know or care how to teach. That is the biggest reason why we have kids uninterested not just about science but about education. Sadly there are a lot of teachers just collecting a paycheck and not teaching, those few who truly love what they are doing, who inspire future generations are sadly few and far in between.
Bravo Professor Tatiana

Спасибо! Отличное выступление, вдохновляет двигаться

[Deludedcrackhead]

I had a chemistry teacher with equal charisma and it's left me with a lifelong love for scientific curiosity.
A lot of educational professionals could learn from people like this.

[Delatta]

I’ll bet she’d a fun date. I imagine her explaining the process of the mashed potatoes cooling, or the role lemons play in the taste of iced tea. No joke, I’d be cracking up the entire night. I wish I’d had her in college 😊

[nglijie]

An algorithm on Facebook showed me a montage of her practical shows of physics. 💜

[ruthpaul]

i love this professor! what a refreshing breath of fresh air

[jayw]

This is exactly how I want to explain science communication. She is such an inspiration, her presentation gave me goosebumps!

[mpd]

Something about this lady I loved in 10 seconds of watching and listening to her.

[MustafaSheikh]

Now I have on my list to visit Texas and this festival and meet this teacher 😀

[mahalakshmiramjee]

Amazing! DEEPly inspiring Pysics teacher! 🙏🏻

[alexanderitskovich]

Incredible person, with so nice respect to her profession and knowledge area she is working in.

[quimiclan]

Thank you for providing such useful and relevant information. It has been a very enriching talk.

[McJulieO]

This audience is a LOT more sedate than her usual audiences! I’ve really enjoyed the others that I’ve seen here on YouTube…

[alenwesker]

I wish I had a teacher like her so much.

[horengrig]

It's incredible performance, Tatiana! Thank you!

[lynzcuesta]

I admire you Dr. Tatiana... I hope I can meet you personally and participate in your classes, or be your student...

[tdawgisindahouse]

Respect for science and the scientific method is sadly low along with the rise of magical thinking, conspiracy theories, religious mythology, and lack of ability for critics thinking. Thank you Professor Tatiana for celebrating science with us!

I used to have a russian physics professor at NY Citytech, great guy, she kinda remember me of that crazy guy xD
