Paul's Story
After Bishop Hartley I went to MIT for undergraduate and graduate school majoring in physics. After graduating I became a physics professor at Oakland University in Michigan. I married Ellen Henson and we are still together 41 years later. After receiving tenure I went on sabbatical to The Exploratorium in San Francisco.

I teach high school science teachers how to make science class interesting, relevant, and fun and I am also the senior staff scientist at the museum.
