Science Friday Live From Tucson

NPR's show Science Friday will be airing live from the Mars Phoenix building here in Tucson tomorrow 11am - 1pm MST (no daylight savings time here) which is 1pm-3pm CDT. They will be talking about Mars (duh!), chili peppers, and Arizona astronomy. I hear they are scalping tickets on Craigs List if you can believe that.

Unfortunately, I will not be in the audience as tomorrow is a special workshop for a program called Project Astro that pairs teacher with astronomers to do education. As an astronomer volunteer, I visit the classroom of my teacher to help lead activities and teach astronomy during the year. And our workshop goes all day tomorrow!

They may talk about a project I have a pretty good role in and that has some exciting Racine and Kenosha connections as well...I will post a follow up blog Saturday (I have to listen to the podcast of it first and, since we take the teachers up Kitt Peak Friday night, I won't even get to listen to the podcast at all tomorrow!)

You can try to find a station that airs Science Friday near you, but I don't know if you can pick any of them up in Racine. Or you can listen live streaming. If all else fails, you can be like me and listen to the podcast at your leisere.

So here is your heads up...more on Saturday.

Hale, I love reading your blogs. Continue to be a blog hog. I too would love to see more varied posts from members who don't post often enough.

Do you see me slowing down? I want others to blog more...not for me to blog less :)

And this is just a teaser blog to try and get people to listen...the main one on this topic will come after the show.
