webcasts

At the Exploratorium, I've had the chance to participate in the writing and hosting of a series of live webcasts. I'm even on YouTube!

  Cassini Update

The Cassini spacecraft continues to orbit Saturn, sending back astonishing images of the ringed planet and its moons. Paul and I look at the latest images and do some hands-on activities to help you understand the science.

Once and Future Climate.
Webcast 1: The Climate Past

With Dr. Paul Doherty, I help explain how we know what the climate was in the past. In this webcast we look at carbon dioxide and talk about why it helps keep us warm, and I go live to the infrared camera in the museum to demonstrate! This is the first in a series of 3 webcasts about climate change.
