Here is the portrait I drew about physics and my favorite physicists.....soon I shall be posting Dr. white's portrait labeled as My MOST FAVORITE PHYSICIST!
Here is our physicist Dr. Gary White. I can say that he is a real genius,flesh and blood. My admiration for his painstaking effort to educate young minds such as ours regarding the wonderful world out there. The Physics World. As our conversation was going on, I saw in him utmost respect even for simple students like us. He patiently answered our queries and did not leave anything hanging. Once, I asked him what is his idea of a good student and I was immediately placed in a state of shock when I learned we share the same idea. He said, "My idea of a good student is someone who has looked at the material ahead of time, thought about it, and contributes to the entire class's understanding by asking the right questions and completing the assignments. Showing respect for the other students and and knowing when to listen are also desirable traits. "I really got a boost of energy and felt blood rushing through my veins when I read these word. He gave me so much inspiration to reach that ideal student. Indeed, this program has helped me alot and Dr. White has increased my kinetic aspiration to reach my scientific dreams....Whattaride...Because of my overwhelming glee, I drew a portrait of What is Physics for me and the most influential persons in physics focused on. I shall soon post Dr. White's portrait here which I drew myself.-Nina =-)

So what is physics?
Not physical, like anatomical or reproduction.
Not physic, like the garden.
But physics.
For me it is wow.
Electricity and upthrust.
Ultrasonic and Apollo.
There’s a computer in it,
And flight and force
And meaning.
Meaning.
What does it mean?
How does it move?
What does it matter?
Movement and matter,
That’s physics for me.
For me it means science.
Schools and exams,
Sums and ungraded.
A slow sinking feeling
Like I’m lost and uncertain.
Like I’m falling without a parachute
Or I’m tangled in the trees.
But there’s some people here
To help us. To show us
What is physics.
There’s Newton and Mrs Matthews,
Heisenburg, Einstein and Moh.
There’s even Thermoman
(Who we think is a superhero
Who swallowed a thermometer).
They can talk to us about gravity,
About energy and uncertainty.
But what about Hiroshima?
I wonder what they’d say.
In amongst the particles,
The reason and the chaos,
We remember Hiroshima.
A pause, a breath, a breeze.
To think about what is physics?
Physics is quantum
Push and pull,
Moon and stars,
Bats and balls.
It’s light, like lightbulbs.
(There’s a light turning on).
And lasers and lifts
(I wish this tower had a lift).
It’s contact and communication.
It’s universal understanding.
Some understanding of our universe,
For You and me.

MR. GARY WHITE
Occupation: Physicist, father , scientist extraordinaire
BIOGRAPHY:
Gary White received his Ph.D. in nuclear theory at Texas A & M University (TAMU) in 1986, and became interested in ion beams and lithography during a postdoctoral appointment in 1991. Recently, his interests have also migrated towards pedagogy, especially the use of science research as a teaching tool. Over the past 14 years, in addition to teaching mathematics at TAMU, he has taught physics and astronomy at Northwestern State University of Louisiana (NSU), being awarded Outstanding Teacher by the NSU Alumni Association in 1996.
As SPS and Sigma Pi Sigma advisor at Northwestern State University of Louisiana (NSU), he guided the chapter to a significant increase in activity in recent years, including several SPS Undergraduate Research Awards and many outreach projects. In 1998, he was elected Society of Physics Students' Zone 10 Councilor and eventually, President of the National SPS Council.
Dr. White has served as a curriculum reviewer for the National Science Foundation and a reviewer for American Institute of Physics publications, and in 1999 was appointed to the nine-member national Advisory Committee on Physics Education for the American Institute of Physics. He has published articles in Physical Review, Annals of Physics, The American Journal of Physics and The College Mathematics Journal. In June 2001, White joined the American Institute of Physics (AIP) as Director of SPS and Sigma Pi Sigma, the National Physics Honor Society.
