The 2020 Allan Carswell Physics Educator Scholarship is awarded to

Samantha Scarfe, University of Ottawa, in recognition of her outstanding, highly motivated work as a physicist and educator and who has the ability to make a big difference to physics pedagogy at the secondary school level.


"I have often had the privilege of first-handedly observing that when students are challenged to step back, think slowly, intuitively, and meaningfully, a massive shift in attitude almost always takes place. As an educator, seeing this shift is indescribably rewarding, and what I will continue to seek in my career as a high-school physics educator."
