FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE College Park, Maryland, United States, February 16, 2009
The American Association of Physics Teachers announced that Marina Milner-Bolotin has assumed the role of Vice Chair, Section Representatives.
Marina Milner-Bolotin has been a physics teacher for 17 years. She has taught in middle schools, high schools and universities in four different countries: Ukraine, Israel, U.S. (TX and NJ) and Canada (BC and ON). Currently she teaches physics at Ryerson University in Toronto, Canada.
Her involvement with the AAPT started almost ten years ago when, as a graduate student at the University of TX, Austin, she was invited to attend a Fall Meeting of the TX section. For the past eight years she has been an active AAPT member and a Section Representative of the BCAPT (2005-2007) and OAPT (2007-current) sections. Dr. Milner-Bolotin has also served on a number of the AAPT Committees, attending and helping to organize National and Section meetings.
Recognizing AAPT as a very important component her professional life, Dr. Milner-Bolotin says, " Physics teaching gives me the opportunity to bring the excitement of science into my students’ lives; to teach them not be afraid to ask “obvious” questions and together try new ideas. I feel very fortunate that I can do for a living what I am passionate about. It is great to see how AAPT transcends the high school-university boundary by providing a forum for all physics teachers to share ideas and figure out solutions together.”
