Tom Greenslade, Ph.D., one of the foremost experts on antique physics apparatus will present "The Creighton Physics Antique Road Show," during Creighton University's Department of Physics colloquium. Some of Creighton's antique apparatus, which includes items from the 1898 Trans-Mississippi Exposition that was held in Omaha, will be on display in a nearby room.
The author of more than 200 articles, Greenslade writes on the history of physics, as well as giving lectures, demonstrations and laboratory experiments developed at Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio, where he served on the physics faculty from 1964 to 2002.
Greenslade serves as the chair of the committee on the History and Philosophy of Physics of the American Association of Physics Teachers, which awarded him a Distinguished Service Citation in 1987 and in 2002 listed him as one of the 75 most influential physics teachers and physicists in the United States.
