I am very happy to talk to people about my research in astrophysics, and about science in general. I especially like to talk to small groups of students or adults at informal gatherings. If you might like me to talk for a little while to your school classroom, church group, civic group, or other organization about physics and astronomy research, science policy, careers in science, or science education, please send me a note by email.
