This week sees me returning to the state I grew up in: Virginia.
I'll be at James Madison University Thursday, September 27 to give my "2012: We're All (not) Gonna Die!" talk - basically destroying the Mayan December 21, 2012 apocalypse nonsense - at 7:00 p.m at the Wilson Hall Auditorium. Admission is free and open to the public. The talk is sponsored by the John C. Wells Planetarium, JMU Department of Physics & Astronomy, College of Science & Mathematics, and the JMU Center for STEM Education & Outreach. They even made the awesome poster seen here! [Click to Kukulkanenate.] Then, the next day - Friday, September 28 - I'll be at my alma mater, the University of Virginia, to be the keynote speaker for the 2012 Forum for Interdisciplinary Dialogue called "Fact, Fiction, and Supposition"! I'm honored to be a part of this event sponsored by the Jefferson Scholars ...
