Along with Nisbet, I continue to give various versions of the Speaking Science 2.0 talk frequently--even though we are not always so good about updating the Speaking Science 2.0 webpage. Um, intern, anybody? Oh wait, that was my little sister, and now she's back at college... ...anyways, we're doing two more presentations together this week. The first will be in New York, sponsored by the Center for Inquiry--that's Wednesday night. Details here. If you missed us at the New York Academy of Sciences in June, this is the next Big Apple trip. The next talk, Thursday, will be at Bucknell University in Pennsylvania. Details here.
Finally, Friday, I'm speaking at the renowned bioethics think tank, the Hastings Center, in Garrison, NY. That talk will be about the good old "war on science." So it's busy, busy, lately....Indeed, I'm currently writing from College Park, Maryland, where I have been on hand to discuss the work of Mike Tidwell, author of The Ravaging Tide: Strange Weather, Future Katrinas, and the Coming Death of America's Coastal Cities. This book has been assigned as the "first year book" for some 4,000 University of Maryland freshmen. I'm going to have more to say about that shortly. But if any of you have read Ravaging Tide, or know of Tidwell's writing and activism more generally, feel free to start up a conversation thread here...
