His primary role is to train and support coaches and mentors who work with novice science teachers in their first two years in the classroom. In 2011, he was selected to be an Albert Einstein Distinguished Educator Fellow at the National Science Foundation, working with Congress and the White House on important science education issues. For fun, Zeke puts on physics circus shows. He thinks of them as magic shows, but in reverse—the secret to a magic trick is to make something simple intentionally confusing, while Zeke tries to make confusing things easy to understand.
