Enjoy a science-themed joke from dads in each of our 10 departments. Happy #FathersDay to all of our #ScienceTerp dads!
Very sad. I took his class when I was in grad school and he was such an inspiration. He taught me a lot about writing that I still put to use today.
We are deeply saddened to learn Prof. Emeritus Jon Franklin '70 died Sunday at 82. Winner of the 1st Pulitzers for feature writing & explanatory journalism, Jon was a gifted writer & difference-making teacher. We send our condolences to his loved ones.
