Adjunct professor

An adjunct professor is a type of academic appointment in higher education who does not work at the establishment full-time.

See Jeremy Bernstein and Adjunct professor

Albert Einstein (14 March 1879 – 18 April 1955) was a German-born theoretical physicist who is widely held as one of the most influential scientists. Best known for developing the theory of relativity, Einstein also made important contributions to quantum mechanics. His mass–energy equivalence formula, which arises from relativity theory, has been called "the world's most famous equation".
