Chad as a science communicator is a regular contributor on Forbes.com, on his personal website, and, through October 2017, on ScienceBlogs.com, while continuing his work as an associate professor at Union College.

Background

Chad was born and raised in central New York state, near Binghamton. After attending Williams College, he spent two years as a post-doctoral researcher at Yale University, studying quantum mechanical effects in Bose-Einstein condensates. He received his Ph.D. in chemical physics studying laser cooling at the National Institute of Standards and Technology He was named a Fellow of the American Physical Society in 2021. ==Writing career==

Writing career

In addition to teaching and doing research at Union, he maintained the physics-oriented blog Uncertain Principles as part of the ScienceBlogs project. He published his first book, How to Teach Quantum Physics to Your Dog (also called How to Teach Physics to Your Dog) in 2009. The book and its sequel How to Teach Relativity to Your Dog explain scientific concepts using a fictionalized version of Orzel's dog as an audience surrogate. In 2018, he published Breakfast with Einstein (The Exotic Physics of Everyday Objects. In 2022, he published A Brief History of Timekeeping. ==Personal life==

Personal life

He lives in Niskayuna, New York with his wife, Kate Nepveu, their two children. Emmy, the dog which was the sound board of exploring physics in his popular books How to Teach Quantum Physics to Your Dog"and How to Teach Relativity to Your Dog has died but he introduces a new addition to the family by way of his blog in an entry entitled "Meet Charlie", another rescue dog. ==Publications==
