Is there a way to have a list of planned topics at the talks. I do not see them listed here at all. I am a self-taught backyard astronomer. I’ve learned from books, online and from 2 quarters of University of Ohio’s astronomy podcasts. I’d like to try learning in a new environment.

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

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.

Hi, Just in the interest of sharing info, I have interests and experience in this area of sharing or ‘translating’ science for broad audiences. I teach a Science Communication class each summer, and have published in the area of engaging the public. I’ll be interested to see how your efforts in this field progress. Please don’t hesitate to let me know if I can of any help.
Cordial regards,
Ethan
PS – My formal training is in neuroscience and animal behavior, though I currently head up education programs for the UW’s Center for Nanotechnology.
