Brian Greene steps away from teaching Frontiers of Science at Columbia

Original: Brian Greene stops teaching Frontiers of Science after more than a decade

Physicist and science communicator Brian Greene has stopped teaching Columbia University's Frontiers of Science course after more than a decade in the classroom. Greene, known for his work on string theory and for popularizing physics through books and public programs, had been a central figure in the core science curriculum. The campus newspaper reported the change, drawing attention from students and alumni familiar with his lectures.

Why now: Greene is a high-profile Columbia professor, so news of him leaving a long-held teaching role naturally draws attention.
