David Brin Lovely! A video of Richard Feynman and the difference between knowing the name of something & knowing something. Great perspective on how to talk to kids about science. By the way, I met Feynman when I was a student at Caltech. I’ll tell that story another time…

Science Fiction Book Club Get the tivo ready - Ridley Scott's on-again-off-again relationship with science fiction seems to be on again. We can now look forward to him profiling some of sf's brightest lights, including Isaac Asimov, Gene Roddenberry and others. No, it's not on Syfy (they really should have thought of it first), but on the Science channel. -Rome
Ridley Scott pays tribute to "Prophets of Science Fiction"

For a guy who felt that science fiction was dead a few years ago, Ridley Scott seems to have renewed his interest in the genre of late. He's producing a show for the Science channel paying tribute to scifi's creators.
