Quotes
I like (an ongoing list):
Alfred Adler on the relationship between teaching and research.
When physicist Paul Ehrenfest first met Wolfgang Pauli the
younger Pauli, who was known for speaking his mind, was quite rude. Ehrenfest told him, “I like your publications
better than I like you.” Pauli replied,
“Strange. My feeling about you is just
the opposite.” Afterward, they became friends.
"She was ... often wrong, but never uncertain." Robert B. Parker in Perish Twic .
"Science is built up from facts, as a house is with stones. But a collection of facts is no more a science than a heap of stones is a house." Henri Poincare
"I'm a penguin. We're not sure what we believe in." Opus
"Ah, life's meaning. Maybe it is not so much found ... as it is made." Opus
"To catch big fish in fantasy is better than not to catch big fish at all." Mark Rosenman
"...having lived long, I have experienced
many instances of being obliged ... to change opinions even on important
subjects which I once thought right but found to be otherwise. It is
therefore that the older I grow, the more apt I am to doubt my own judgment,
and to pay more attention to the judgment of others." Benjamin
Franklin.
"No one who is a professor and receives
his support from the larger community can rightfully be unmindful of his
obligation to it." physicist/philosopher John Wheeler.
"My brain is open." Paul Erdos, itinerant mathematician.
"Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you've imagined." Henry David Thoreau
"So nigh is grandeur to our dust, So near is God to man, When Duty whispers low, Thou Must, The youth replies, I can." Ralph Waldo Emerson, just prior to the Civil War.
"It doesn't matter who is sitting in the
chair next to me, I still have the same conversation. In fact, I can have
this conversation with an empty chair." Robby Rosenman
Research and areas of
interest:
I came to WSU in 1983, working mostly on natural resources and environmental
topics. My current research interests are in Health Economics, Industrial
Organization, and Applied Microeconomics. I am also interested in Forensic
Economics and Natural Resources.
Teaching:
I teach all levels of Applied Microeconomics and Econometrics, mostly in Health
Economics nowadays. I sometimes teach Principles of Macroeconomics. Follow my
class threads to see how I use the Web for teaching.
Other interests:
I read (mostly physics and other science), hike, canoe and raft. Until my
knees went I was a squash player and studied Shito Ryu karate with Sensei Pat
Cruver of Nihon Karate Do - Kenwa Kai (Pullman branch). Now I spend every
morning on an exercise bicycle.
