Dr. Robert Nemiroff is a Professor of Physics at Michigan Technological University. He is quite proud of his award as an "exceptional graduate student mentor." He holds a PhD from the University of Pennsylvania and became a Fellow of the American Physical Society in 2022. Dr. Nemiroff is perhaps best known as a creator and editor for one of NASA's most popular science websites: The Astronomy Picture of the Day at https: //apod.nasa.gov/. This book is a humorous popularization of surprising research published in top physics and astrophysics journals. In his spare time, Robert likes to play basketball, read and watch science fiction, and think about concepts in science that are both very simple and very strange. See less
