    The Scientist Storyteller: Interview with Dr. David Kipping, exomoonologist

    “You just need to tell the world about what you’re doing, why it fascinates you and illuminate the process of finding things out” – Professor David Kipping, Columbia University Imagine sitting in bed watching the Science Channel with your daughter and you hear a great quote from the astronomy expert  – exomoonologist, to be exact- being interviewed.

    How Life is Like Dinner Theatre: On Embracing Participatory Culture

    First watch this: This was indeed life not too long ago. Until, perhaps, the “YOU” was inserted as a prefix to “TUBE”, among other advances. In the ’80s, I recall watching Videodrome, primarily because my New Wave idol Deborah Harry of Blondie was starring. Someone has uploaded the entire film here , but here’s a gist: “Television is reality, and reality is less than television” Talk about “participatory”! That scene is clearly dystopian, but I think offers a bit of insight i
