Dr. Roy Clark, Professor Emeritus

Roy Clark, Professor Emeritus, Dept. of Chemistry MTSU

PhD, 1965, Louisiana State University, Physical Chemistry

Since retirement in 1996 I have spent my time reading, writing, watching Lawrence Welk reruns, traveling around the world with my lovely wife, and bowling on Tuesday nights. I am FAQ editor for The Chemical Educator and write a feature for The Journal of Chemical Education titled "The Physics Teacher"; about once per year. The publications below were all written after my retirement.

TO MY FORMER STUDENTS: This material will be on the next test.
