This is my personal home page.  It can take you to other pages of my site: just click on the appropriate word at the top of the present page.  Professional information can be found on my University pages, giving general and more specific data, such as University address, e-mail, professional biography, awards and honors, research interests and the like.

Since my retirement, I have given talks and taught courses to adults, mostly on general scientific topics.  I do this because I enjoy it, and also because I am appalled at the unpardonable ignorance shown by the general public concerning scientific subjects, but even more importantly concerning the meaning of science in the modern world.

The other pages of the present site, provide, or will soon provide: a short personal autobiography (to be enlarged later), miscellaneous writings (on a variety of subjects),  lectures, photo albums, travels, and yes, inevitably, a blog.  Most of these pages are presently “under construction”, as they say in webland.
