Hello Physics Forums:

I wanted to share a new science-education video series called 'Think About'. We just completed the first eight mini-episodes. 'Think About' airs on American Forces Network (AFN) and the audience is pretty special: kids that are overseas with their military parents. The videos are also available, at no cost, to educational organizations, public broadcasting, etc.

In any case, we'd love to have some feedback and also suggestions for future episodes.

A few samples are below and you can see all eight episodes on YouTube here:

Wow, I'm really surprised! I'd never think water would boil.
 
Nice! I didn't know water would boil and then freeze in space.
 
Very professionally done & interesting for kids.
 
That's very well done. Having spent some time overseas watching AFN myself, I am sure these videos will be appreciated.
 
After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...
I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
