Dynamic Duo 

Tags: Speakers

When I saw that the Planetary Society was sponsoring a session with Bill Nye and Neil deGrasse Tyson, I assumed that each would take the podium for a while. But those of us in the audience were treated to these two as dynamic copresenters! Their sense of humor did not detract form the importance of their message: Why We Need to Study Earth from Space. Both of these scientists are strong advocates for quality science education that will "change the world" - an important message since the future scientists in America are in our classrooms right now. After their discussion (about which several in the audience wondered if a recording would be available), they took questions from the audience. They also wondered how many science teachers we could remember who made a diffference in our lives. Some could recall 4 or 5. How many can you name?

This was fantastic! My hope (along with many of the attendees) is that they'll publish this talk for us to use in class. Any news on this?
