Debunking Myths and Rediscovering Wonder with Phil Plait
Phil Plait, known widely as “The Bad Astronomer,” shares his journey in science outreach, from debunking astronomy myths to writing popular books and consulting for science fiction films and shows. He emphasizes the importance of reconnecting people with the wonder of the night sky, combating the disconnection caused by light pollution and digital media. On science fiction's balance between storytelling and science accuracy, Phil says "The story is more important than getting the science 100% right, but doing both creates a deeper experience."
