Beyond the Book

I wrote a book about our place in the universe, and a wing of this website will provide resources to supplement the book.

  • Clarifications and discussion of topics that reach beyond the book’s scope
  • Ever-growing FAQ’s based on readers’ questions
  • Access to the book’s figures, in a webpage or pdf (especially useful with the audiobook [coming soon])
  • Access to the book’s endnotes (so you always don’t have to flip to the back of the book! [coming soon])

and more to come.

This part of the website is still being built out, but feel free to take a look. It will continue to grow in response to readers’ interests.

There’s something for readers at every level of background. (But since there’s plenty of standard science journalism around, some of it quite good, I tend to dig a bit deeper than the typical news article.)

Upcoming Events

I love to talk about science to and with non-scientists, both in person and virtually. Come to one of my scheduled events, or get in touch with me about setting one up for the future.

Other Writings and Video

Check out my page with links to various videos of me speaking or teaching, and various forms of writing that I’ve done beyond the confines of this webpage and my book.
