How to Contact The Physics Aviary or Get Translation Help

The Physics Aviary lists a direct email address for questions and comments, and its creator, Frank McCulley, offers to help anyone who wants to translate the site's programs into another language. The site also publishes updates through a "Latest News" section and hosts a separate page of Ukrainian physics lab resources. All of this is stated on the site's homepage, which describes the programs as free of ads, cookies, trackers, and AI.

Contacting The Physics Aviary

The site provides a single contact route: email.

• General questions and comments: The homepage invites visitors to "feel free to contact me with any questions or comments about these resources" and lists the address [email protected].
• A newer address for site-specific issues: The site notes that a new email address was created "to better deal with issues or questions" and to keep Physics Aviary questions out of the creator's other mail. The homepage says this new address is at the bottom of the page, so check there for the current one.

If you're writing about a specific program, include the program name and a short description of what happened or what you need. The site doesn't describe a support form, ticketing system, or response-time guarantee, so email is the only documented channel.

Getting Help With Translations

The Physics Aviary is being prepared for translation, and the creator offers hands-on help to anyone who wants to localize the programs.

• As programs are updated, they are being made "translation ready so that they can quickly and painlessly converted into other languages."
• If you want programs in your students' native language, the homepage says to "reach out to me and I will help you get started with this simple process."

The practical step is to email the address above, state the target language, and ask to be walked through the conversion process. The site doesn't publish a translation file format, a list of already-translated languages, or a self-service tool, so the starting point is a direct request.

Following Updates and New Programs

The homepage's "Latest News" section is where changes are announced. Recent items described there include:

• Problem makeover: All homework and classwork problems are being updated. Students will enter their names before starting so they don't forget at the end, and certificates will be color coded — green for good, red for wrong.
• Translation readiness: Programs are being converted so they can be translated into other languages.
• Worksheets: Worksheets are being added to resource pages for some homework problems, to guide students through tougher problems and let them work on paper more easily.

The site advises checking back often for updates and new programs. There is no newsletter or RSS feed mentioned, so the homepage is the place to look.

Ukrainian Resources

The Physics Aviary hosts a separate set of Ukrainian-language lab resources:

• What it is: Physics laboratory resources for students and instructors at higher education institutions.
• Who made it: The simulator resource and website come from Frank McCulley; the instructional resource was created, with the developers' permission, by physics instructor and doctor of technical sciences Myroslava Chernova.
• Who it was made for: Chernova's students at the National Technical University of Oil and Gas in Ukraine.
• How to reach it: The homepage includes a "click here to access resources" link, and asks visitors to share the resources with Ukrainian speakers who might benefit.

Quick Reference

The Physics Aviary does not document phone support, a contact form, or social media channels on the material reviewed here, so email and the homepage links are the routes to use.
