Next weekend, October 22nd through the 24th, I’ll be up in Nashville, TN attending GMX<\/a> and holding forth on several panels. Yes, yes, I appear to be turning into one of those people who go to science fiction conventions just to blather at others. What can you do.<\/p>\n

I know: you can go to the Radisson Opryland next weekend and hear me talk about science!<\/p>\n

Science of the Whedonverse<\/b>
\nSaturday 2:00 PM, McGavock A
\nAs at Dragon*Con, I’ll be talking about the actual science behind some of the ideas in Buffy, Angel, Firefly, and Dollhouse. Sadly I don’t have Jennifer Ouellette and Jason Schneiderman making smart observations, as I did at Dragon*Con, but hey, how hard can it be to talk brain science when you’re a physicist<\/a>?<\/p>\n

WhatTheCast Live!<\/b>
\nSunday 12:00 noon, McGavock B
\nCrispy, Brian and I once again free-associate about various nerd topics, from recent films to Gliese 581 c, as part of a live recording of our Parsec-nominated podcast.<\/p>\n

There Ain’t No Stealth in Space<\/b>
\nSunday 1:00 PM, McGavock B
\nIt’s really, really hard to make a spaceship be invisible in outer space, no matter how hard you try. I’ll run through the science of why that is and happily debunk your fool-proof scheme for making a cloaked spaceship.<\/p>\n

So come on over and listen to me pontificate! When I’m not paneling I’ll be hanging out chatting, or possibly making a fool of myself in Rock Band.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
