On Thursday Feb. 28 and Friday Feb. 29 at 19:30 (Mountain time), I will be giving my "Seven Ways a Black Hole Can Kill You" talk at Fiske Planetarium in Boulder, CO. This is my first talk here in my new hometown, so I’m pretty excited! They have details online, and directions to Fiske too.
I actually put this talk together several years ago when I was at Sonoma State University, since we did a lot of work on education using black holes. But I’ve updated it to reflect what I learned writing the black holes chapter of my upcoming book, Death from the Skies.
In honor of this event, I have added a calendar to the blog listing BA events. You can get to it on every page of the blog; it’s listed as "Events" in the upper right just below the BA logo. And yes, I totally stole this from Rebecca when I saw she had done it.
I hope to see you there!

This should be a great talk. I got to see Rob Sparks version of it a couple months ago (which he said he “borrowed” from you). My wife has been working with him on some educational workshops up on the Navajo Reservation – I went up there with her once (it’s a long drive from Tucson to do solo which she would have had to do if I hadn’t gone – and it was a good excuse to get up to northern Arizona for a couple days….).

Did Dr. Tyson do a thing like this once too?

Stop stealing my totally awesome ideas! Wait till I start doing live video chats and writing books and stuff.

I’d like to see Dr. BA steal your quote feature, Rebecca. That sucker rocks.
(Also preview would be nice.)

BA – Long time reader, first time poster. I’ve decided you need to come do talks in Colorado Springs. You’re so close in Boulder yet so far away. Quit teasing me with Boulder talks and come down here.
