A Chile SETI interview

I was interviewed by my friend, SETI- and astronomy enthusiast Lourdes Cahuich for the SETI.cl website. And, because the site is in Chile, it’s also en Español.

I talk a bit about how I got started in astronomy and outreach, why I love social networks, and why I’m so strongly anti-antivax.

Bonus: there’s an ~~interview with~~ an article about Frank Drake there too!

I can’t say I master the Spanish language. In fact, I only know about 10 words of Spanish. However, although not perfect, the translation function in Google Chrome presented me with quite a decent translation into English…

No, I’m not trying to plug that browser, though it does look that way, doesn’t it?…

No Hablas espanol que?

(Don’t speak spanish eh?)

Which I don’t.(But the BA apparently does?) Is there an English translation somewhere?

Actually, Spanish is a language that would be handy to learn and I gather would also just about enable you to speak French (or is it Italian?) too. Romance language and all that.
