BA talk at Rensselaer Thursday

submit to reddit

rpi_talkFor those of you in the upstate New York area, I’ll be giving my Death from the Skies! talk at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI for those in the know) this Thursday, November 12, at 7:30 p.m. It’s free and open, which I guess means the public can come, but you might want to contact them about that.

I visited RPI many years ago (it was on my list of potential colleges when I was in high school, but that’s a long story), and it’s gorgeous. This time of year it’ll be spectacular, I bet, so I’m really looking forward to this!

A quick reminder: the Carl Sagan Day celebration will be at Broward College in southern Florida on Saturday! Speakers include James Randi, Jeffrey Bennett, David Morrison, and me. There will be lots of stuff for kids and astronomy enthusiasts of all ages. Check my blog post from Monday for more info.

Also, there will be a reception that night at 8:00 p.m. as well. Requested donation is $10. I hope to see some BABloggees there!
