Science Comedian

I’ve been writ­ing up my notes from Sci­ence Foo Camp, anx­ious to get some­thing online about the uncon­fer­ence that ended a week ago already, and from which I’m still on a seri­ous high.  Meanwhile…

sym­me­try break­ing has a new review of my “Ratio­nal Com­edy for an Irra­tional Planet” show.

sym­me­try break­ing is a blog sup­ple­ment to sym­me­try – a great par­ti­cle physics mag­a­zine that explores not only the sci­ence but also the peo­ple, the cul­ture, and the poli­cies of science.

It’s pub­lished every other month by the Fermi National Accel­er­a­tor Lab­o­ra­tory and the Stan­ford Lin­ear Accel­er­a­tor Cen­ter – national lab­o­ra­to­ries funded by the Office of Sci­ence of the US Depart­ment of Energy – and, there­fore, the mag­a­zine is avail­able for free – in print as well as online – to any­one.  Sub­scribe here.

The review is writ­ten by David Har­ris, edi­tor of sym­me­try, who attended my show at the Punch Line Com­edy Club, here in SF, last Mon­day, August 11, imme­di­ately fol­low­ing Sci­Foo weekend.

He also invited me to write an essay on being a sci­ence come­dian for the print ver­sion of the magazine.

Thanks, David!
