For some people, tripping over a tree root might
result in embarrassment, an expletive or even a sight injury. For Dan Fleisch,
award-winning associate professor of physics, such a misstep resulted in an “a-ha”
moment that has since led to a one-of-a-kind course with a high-tech twist.
After his brief fall while conducting research in Cambridge, England, last year, Fleisch realized that the roots of much of modern science began in the labs, homes, locales and academic institutions across the United Kingdom. From there, the conceptual framework for a new course, appropriately titled “The Roots of 21st-Century Science,” took hold, and, like Newton beneath the apple tree, Fleisch’s brainstorm quickly became a full-fledged undertaking. - by Karen Saatkamp Gerboth ’93
