Rachel and Eric were interviewed for an article in the University of Washington’s News and Information publication, University Week. The article is available at http://uwnews.org/uweek/article.aspx?id=56140
We’re hoping that the article will raise the visibility of Engage and help spread the word about our free biweekly talks. The article talks about our motivation for creating the speaker series as well as our plans for the upcoming fall seminar.

I was so glad to see this article in UWeek, and I want to support Engage, in part following Professor Peter Ward’s concluding message in his Distinguished Faculty Lecture this year, about the need for involving our graduate students in interdisciplinary activities and outreach to the community. This seems to me to match the main missions of Engage very well! I’m a retired Math professor with strong interests in physics and astronomy, computing, and environmental science (Al Gore’s “Inconvenient Truth”), and I want to support your work, at least by attending some of the presentations (as health permits), or watching them on this site when you can post them.
I write a column on Seattle Astronomy for Examiner.com — http://www.examiner.com/x-30469-Seattle-Astronomy-Examiner — and have been featuring your talks in a weekly calendar article. I’ve not been able to attend as yet, but hope to in the near future once things slow down a bit on my day job. The talks all look quite interesting.
Best regards,
Greg Scheiderer
