Synthetic Biology Conference
January 4th, 2011
Feb. 3-4, 2011 – Synthetic Biology conference held at Google’s Washington, D.C. offices
I am participating in a synthetic biology conference called “Here Be Dragons: Governing a Technologically Uncertain Future.”
Stellar cast of speakers from science AND science fiction: Drew Endy, Andrew Hessel, George Church, Robert J. Sawyer, Neal Stephenson, Bruce Sterling, Robert Wright, and many more!
Part of the Future Tense series, the event is co-sponsored by Slate magazine, Arizona State University, and the New America Foundation, and will explore governance issues surrounding new, rapidly-developing fields of science.
How do we proceed when we have no maps for these unexplored territories?

Bad Science in Star Wars

FORA.tv has a short video of me performing at the recent Wonderfest science festival in Berkeley. I’m talking about bad science in science fiction movies, and the example in the clip is a classic moment from Star Wars…
Science Comedian – the Heat in Arizona
September 27th, 2010
I had a fantastic time performing at the Sacramento Comedy Spot this past Friday. We had a packed house in an intimate room – and they were just the perfect science-loving crowd. Or, I should say, science-comedy-loving crowd.
The opening act was the hilariously geeky Nick Pettigrew (link is to a previous set of his), and I did a whopping hour and forty minutes, including some Q&A. I’ll be putting more clips online soon. Here’s the first.
My fever-dream inspired by the unbearable heat of an Arizona summer. Some might fantasize of bikinis and water sports; I can only imagine global devastation, mutation, human extinction…
Good Day, Sacramento!
September 27th, 2010
This past Friday, I performed at the Sacramento Comedy Spot (in , uh, Sacramento, CA). To promote the show, I made an early morning appearance on a local TV show, “Good Day, Sacramento.”
I said, “Good day!”
We talked about science and comedy and insect photography. They even pulled up my photo blog: InsectPaparazzi.com .

More info on Schmahl Science Workshops:
The Bay Area is home to significant innovation in science and technology. However many local school districts have eliminated science education from their curriculum. The key is more Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) educated graduates if we want to continue to be leaders in the global economy. By partnering with schools, institutions of higher education, science based institutions, museums, local governments, and the business community our non-profit, Schmahl Science Workshops (SSW) develops young scientists to participate in the next wave of scientific innovation. We need your help to keep Schmahl Science Workshop strong. We invite you to join us to celebrate the accomplishments of our students and to learn more about how you can inspire the next generation of scientists.
