Great On-Line Resources For Teaching Science Fiction-Inspiring Science

I bring your attention to some great on-line links for getting young people interested in science. These links deal specifically with the science of exoplanets (planets outside our solar system) and the possibility of life on other planets.

First: a good Fresh Air interview on Life on other planets.

Next: a Science Friday interview about the discoveries of exoplanets.

Both of these are discussions on the cutting-edge science of planets outside our solar system. Both are fascinating, and a great resource for young people interested in writing science fiction.

An Excellent Article About, Well, Me!

The news website Philipstown.info just published a very complimentary article about my upcoming play Much Ado About Nothing. It's a great description of the kind of teaching I do and my philosophy about teaching Shakespeare.

Contrary the perceived focus of this blog, I love teaching Shakespeare. It's my second favorite subject to teach. Sometimes I find myself just getting drunk on the language, it's so rich and beautiful.

The performance will be on Friday, April 8th, at 7 PM. Admission is free.
