Ames, who is studying for his Ph.D. in quantum optics at the University of Innsbruck, Austria, got national recognition this month when his 71/2-minute video was selected as the best explanation of flame to a young audience. The worldwide contest, run by Stony Brook University in New York, was inspired by actor and visiting professor Alan Alda and was judged by 6,000 sixth-graders.So I went scrambling off to YouTube to see if I can find the video, and I did!
The award was given by the Stony Brook Center for Communicating Science, a part of its School of Journalism.
Ames’ video bested 800 entries by getting the top number of rating points from sixth-graders in 131 schools.
