Britney's Guide to Semiconductor Physics

A short while ago, I suggested to my friend, (who is being extremely productive over at CERN), that incorporating pop culture into the lesson was really a great way to instruct in advanced math and physics concepts. We joked about it, watched "The Elements" flash animation, and remembered something obscure about an old movie with Andrey Mironov (a Soviet Danny Kaye, of sorts).

Anyway, yesterday, he emailed me this link to "Britney's Guide to Semiconductor Physics", to sort of add on to that discussion. Apparently, it's been around for a while, and is extremely successful. I think the idea is pretty obvious - everyone likes Britney, and everyone likes semiconductor physics. So, putting the two together is an entirely apparent recipe for academic success. I encourage you to use it in your classrooms, and maybe soon we'll be graduating enough kids to fill up the labs in the Physics department.
