ON THE ROAD: Dr. Bones uses props and a sense of humor to teach important topics in Science and Health.
By Deborah MedenbachTimes Herald Record
Newburgh – Dr. Don R. Mueller is perhaps the only person on the planet who can make you feel sorry for a molecule of sulfur dioxide. The research scientist spent months in Taiwan studying how to shoot lasers through the molecule without breaking it apart. Day after day, experiment after experiment, Mueller hammered away at the problem.
That kind of single-minded focus can dull the sense of humor of even the most outgoing person. So with a smattering of Mandarin Chinese, Mueller found a way to break up the intensity.
Disguised as his comic alter-ego Doctor Bones, he dropped into Taiwanese school rooms and children’s hospitals to teach children about useful concepts and principles in science and health. Despite the language barrier, the food-juggling scientist became something of a celebrity there, appearing on several TV programs and was the subject of numerous newspaper articles.
“Fun is my first motive and I will take any chance that I can get to juggle,” said Mueller. The laser researcher who now lives in Goshen, took his show on the road in 1998, filling his hours outside college labs with quirky interactive programs designed to get kids interested in science, math and health.
The price of such dedication is that sometimes the kids walk off with his props, like the boy found by a school security guard taking one of Mueller’s giant plastic hamburgers. Still he says, he’d rather have kids yearn to take something away from the show rather than leave all of science’s treasures behind.
As Doctor Bones, Mueller teaches about nutrition, health, physics and chemistry. As Geometry Guy, Mueller’s playful enthusiasm generates a circus of mathematical games and tricks. Mueller attempts to explain even complex theories in a way that everyday people can gain some benefit from: even in a small measure.
His drive to spark interest in science among school children started when he noticed that the college students in his classes were underprepared for what lay ahead in science learning. “Perhaps as young kids they learned science from a teacher shuttled in from the English or Social Studies department in order to fill in the vacant slot in the science department,” he said. “How are students to acquire a love for science from teachers who don’t adequately understand concepts and principles relevant to the task?”
In addition to creating an entertaining persona, Mueller is something of the budding entrepreneur and inventor. He invented (1) GeomeTreats, geometric cookies with math formulas written on them (2) Elementary, a periodic table of elements cereal and (3) Nutri-Brain physics cookies. He also invented Silly Shapes “Geometric” Lollipops: 8 different geometric shapes. In all, the scientist and educator has nine different educational food products and games that he is hoping to get into the marketplace.
