Kim Coble's Education Interests

I'm supported by an NSF Astronomy and Astrophysics Postdoctoral Fellowship, a program for investigators interested in conducting an integrated program of research and education. I do my education/outreach work primarily at the Adler Planetarium. I also occasionally teach classes at the University of Chicago Graham School and do outreach work with Project Exploration.

Since my primary research interest is cosmology, many of my education and outreach efforts have focused on cosmology:

I organized a Cosmology Education Public Forum for the Cosmo-02 conference Sept 18, 2002 in Chicago.
Check out my list of cosmology links and references.
And some of my collected cosmology exercises.
My collection of publications includes notes from public lectures as well as talks and posters on cosmology education.

Many of my research projects have been based in Antarctica. To learn more about Antarctica, check out:
