A retiring professor

Uploaded by nottinghamscience on Jul 28, 2011
Professor Roger Bowley is packing up his office, getting ready to retire after 40 years of physics.
Professor Bowley is a regular contributor to Sixty Symbols (which he will keep doing after retirement)... http://www.youtube.com/sixtysymbols
While his official teaching duties are coming to an end, Professor Bowley says he will keep doing physics because it is his "hobby"

Most probably some of us will not live to see that day, or, receive something for our past life. Enjoy it.

@EducationLover Well I have retired, but I have been working with Brady on videos about numbers for numberphile, his new channel. I have pestered him to do 60symbols on Watt's steam engine, the life of Emilie du Chatelet (the lover of Voltaire), and on Magic numbers in nuclear physics. But he did allow me to talk about the Higgs Boson because Phil Anderson was my old boss in the theory group at Cambridge University, and he first proposed the idea behind ths Higgs field.

The only guy who I understood physics from is now Gone :'(( My favorite professor have retired :'(
-
I am glad he's gone. I won't read comments to this, as those won't change my mind.
-
I'm crying
-
I hope he's having fun in his retirement and managing to do the physics he wants. Do retired professors still get involved in experiments at the university, I'd hate to spend all my life doing that then get cut off :o(
-
goodbye professor i really am going to miss you now, because the sixty symbols vids won't be the same without you
-
Prof. Bowley, you're one of the best teachers on Sixty Symbols. I hope you keep in touch with Brady...
-

Good luck Professor and thank you for all your contributions. May you continue to thrive in your respective field of expertise, regardless of your 'retirement'. Maybe you could do a 'Physics Garden' show, or something along those lines. Enjoy your new-found freedom!

Please carry on doing youtube videos even if they are not SixtySymbols - you explain science in a very easy to understand and interesting way Professor Bowley :)
