Perkins was named as a Fellow of the American Physical Society, in the 2021 class of fellows, "for profound contributions to physics education through the vision and leadership of the PhET project, resulting in the creation of many high-quality interactive simulations for teaching physics to hundreds of millions of students and teachers globally".
PhET Interactive Simulations is part of the University of Colorado Boulder which is a member of the Association of American Universities. [10] The team changes over time and has about 16 members consisting of professors, post-doctoral students, researchers, education specialists, software engineers (sometimes contractors), educators, and administrative assistants.

The 1080 is a skateboarding trick that can be performed on a vertical skateboard ramp or on a mega ramp, in which the skateboarder makes three full revolutions (1080 degrees of rotation in total, hence the name) while airborne.
A trick where the skater reaches the top of the transition, leans on the skateboard's nose atop the ramp, and drops back in switch or reverts to regular either frontside or backside. Pivot: the most basic go up and turn around on your back truck. Add a little flair by slashing at the coping instead. frontside or backside. Pogo
