Boris Korsunsky was born in Moscow, Russia. He has been teaching, writing about education, presenting workshops, conducting educational research and collecting silly quotes since 1986. Boris has been residing in the US since 1992.
Boris Korsunsky has maintained his sense of
humor throughout the following ordeals: first, his upbringing in the Soviet
educational system; second, more than twenty years of teaching high-school physics
in Russia and in the United States; and, last but not least, obtaining a
doctorate in science education from a fabled Ivy League institution. This is
his first effort to put together a funny
physics book: his previous books and articles are much less fun for a normal person to read. While counting the members of both the
Russian and the US national physics teams among his former students, Boris
enjoys working with students of all ages and levels – and this book explains at
least one reason why... Boris
currently teaches physics at Weston High School, recently recognized as
the best public school in Massachusetts. Coincidence? We think not... Boris's hobbies include competitive badminton, travel and, well, teaching. His main passion in physics education is cognition of solving challenging physics problems. While Boris has a long and diverse experience
in physics education, having taught, published and conducted workshops
throughout the world, he is especially proud of his recently acquired ability
to turn book critics into small rodents (see the photo).
