I've just agreed to be The Science Guy on one of our local tv stations,
with a 3-minute (!) gig every week. Science for the citizen, that sort of
thing.
Where should I spend time schmoozing? I'm looking for your best ideas in
books, web sites, newsgroups, mailing lists, whatever.
1) Take an Air Mail subscription to New Scientist and mention at least one
topic he garners there. This is incomparably the best weekly for his purpose.
2) Let him browse the 'Amateur Scientist' column from Scientific American
from its heyday years. This was a national treasure and a means of
conveying a love of science so potent that the current crop of Amateur
Scientists still revere the material. Stong Be Praised!
3) There are teachers too who nucleate the scientific spirit.
They know who they are. A word from them on occasion could do no harm.
