Are you at Comic-Con or intending to get there within the next day? Then come tomorrow to Science Not Fiction's panel, Mad Science, produced in conjunction with Jennifer Ouellette and our partners over at the Science & Entertainment Exchange. Why "mad"? We'll be looking at science as a double-edged sword, ethically and morally neutral itself, but capable of being used for much good and evil. The panel will be moderated by DISCOVERmagazine.com's own Bad Astronomer, Phil Plait, and includes this star-studded cast: Jaime Paglia — co-Executive Producer of EurekaKevin GrazierBattlestar Galactica and Vituality science advisor Jane Espenson — major sci-fi writer/producer: Firefly, Dollhouse, Battlestar, and on and on Rob Chiappetta and Glenn Whitman — writers for FringeRicardo Gil da Costa — neuroscientist and adviser for Fringe If you're convinced, then go to Room 6DE tomorrow (Thursday) July 23rd, 6:00-7:00. If you're not yet convinced, consider this: Our panel at last year's 'Con was SRO in a 1,000-person room—some folks couldn't even get in the door—and this year's panel is studded with even more stars. For those unfortunate ones who got left behind (like yours truly), don't mourn too hard: We'll have the video from the panel posted here soon-ish.
