National Academies Communications Fair 2010

The honor is mine. I am humbled.

I have been asked to speak at the National Academies Communications Fair 2010 for the National Academy of Sciences. It will be in Washington, DC. I’m on a panel about science communication. Also on the panel are individuals from NBC, HBO and PBS! I need a three letter designation too so I’m representing EPP! My role is “science rapbassador, whose online rap video for Fermilab has helped communicate the science of particle acceleration.” Yeah, this is some cool fallout from Fermilab’s Particle Business music video! Thanks to Ben Kilminster for hipping the National Academy of Sciences to me!

In the morning I’ll be talking about science outreach via hip-hop and Particle Business. In the afternoon, there is going to be some TED Tryouts for which I’ll be doing Particle Business live!

The honor is mine. I am humbled.

What’s ALSO cool is that I rapped with my friends/bandmates EPP over the weekend in Orlando. This Saturday we’ll be performing at Florida Supercon in Miami. This will be my first time at Florida Supercon. Richard Roundtree (SHAFT!) will be there in addition to “Kat” From Battlestar Galactica!

Excitement!
