Public Lectures, Talks, and Programs

I am keenly interested in public education. The public is fascinated with fundamental science, especially astronomy and astrophysics. It is both enjoyable and rewarding to give public presentations, and through the years I have given talks at a number of venues including schools, amateur astronomy clubs, Café Scientifiques, Science in the City, as well as on radio and television. Here is a sampling of some recent events and programs:
>  I was part of an episode entitled “A Star is Born” (2003), on the popular CBC radio program, “Quirks and Quarks”; http://www.cbc.ca/quirks/archives/03-04/oct11.html
>  Café Scientifique, Ralph Pudritz and Doug Welch, on "Planetary Systems and Extraterrestrial Life", Oct. 4, 2006, in Hamilton, Ontario. http://www.slackerastronomy.org/wordpress/index.php/archive/cafe-scientifique-on-planetary-systems-and-extraterrestrial-life/.
