Cougarcast Episode 7 (MP3 Version)

November 1, 2007 - According to legend, after discovering the means of calculating the volume of an irregular object, a naked Archimedes ran down the streets of Syracuse yelling "Eureka!". After 2,200 years, scholars and researchers are still having "Eureka!" moments. Luckily, they're opting to keep their clothes on when they happen. This month's Cougarcast is a start of a series about those "Eureka!" moments -- large and small -- from various areas of study at the college. We talk to Collin College faculty members Dr. Frederick Jury, Dr. Sukanya Subramanian, Dr. Collin Thomas and Dr. Greg Sherman about their "Eureka!" moments, how they came about and what the feeling was at the moment of discovery. This month's podcast ends with Upcoming Events. E-mail us if you want to have your event included in next month's Cougarcast. Check back in mid-November for additional Eureka moments from Collin College faculty members Dr. Amina El-Ashmawy, Dr. Chris Doumen and Dr. Bridgette Kirkpatrick.
