Today my guest is Les Kirkup. Les is an Adjunct Professor in Science at the University of Technology, Sydney and an Honorary Professor in the School of Physics at Sydney University. In this episode, Les and I speak about his active contributions to learning, teaching and research in higher education and his long-term commitment and enthusiasm for a student-centred approach to science and engineering. Les is a recipient of the Australian Institute of Physics medal for his work in undergraduate science education and has been awarded two national fellowships for his work in university teaching and learning. Les is also the author of Experimental Methods, a textbook – now in its second edition - devoted to assisting students in the physical sciences and engineering with matters relating to laboratory work including measurement uncertainties, use of spread sheets and communicating findings to a broader audience. Here’s my conversation with Les Kirkup. https://www.uts.edu.au/staff/les.kirkup http://www.iolinscience.com.au/ https://www.amazon.co.uk/Experimental-Methods-Introduction-Analysis-Presentation/dp/0471335797
