, science, video we need more like this one.. perlocutionary has a nifty post on a podcast of a discussion ann druyan had with dj grothe.
of course you are familiar with this exceptional lady. if not, have a look at this kick-ass bio i lifted from point of inquiry: "Ann Druyan is a renowned author, lecturer, and television and motion picture writer/producer whose work mostly explores the implications of science and technology for our society. She is the widow of the great Carl Sagan with whom she was a co-writer of the Emmy and Peabody Award winning television series Cosmos.
She served as Creative Director for the NASA Voyager Interstellar Record Project that included music and images on the Voyager Spacecrafts that serve as a greeting to possible alien civilizations. She co-created and co-produced of the Oscar nominated movie Contact starring Jodie Foster, which is based on the novel of the same name that she co-wrote with Carl Sagan. She is also the author or co-author of several other books, including A Famous Broken Heart, and Comet, which was on the New York Times best seller list for two months.
Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors, also written with Carl Sagan, was another New York Times best seller. Druyan has a new book out in November entitled The Varieties of Scientific Experience: A Personal View of the Search for God, which explores her and Sagan s views on science and religion. Druyan is co-founder and CEO of Cosmos Studios, which produces science-based entertainment across many types of media.
Since 2000, Cosmos Studios has produced four documentaries, including Cosmic Journey which was nominated for an Emmy for the best nature/science documentary. She is also a Fellow of CSICOP at the Center for Inquiry." i also enjoyed this article i found on the committee for the scientific investigation of claims of the paranormal, as featured on skeptical inquirer magazine: Labels: evolution, religion or not.
