io9’s Geek’s Guide to the Galaxy Podcast Interviews Jennifer Ouellette

February 10, 2011 by David Barr Kirtley 2 Comments

Episode 30 of Geek’s Guide to the Galaxy is up at io9. In this show we interview Jennifer Ouellette, author of three popular science books, Black Bodies and Quantum Cats: Tales from the Annals of Physics, The Physics of the Buffyverse, and The Calculus Diaries: How Math Can Help You Lose Weight, Win in Vegas, and Survive a Zombie Apocalypse. She also maintains a blog called Cocktail Party Physics, and for the past three years has been the director of the Science and Entertainment Exchange, an initiative of the National Academy of Sciences that seeks to improve the way that science and scientists are portrayed by Hollywood. Then stick around after the interview as John and I discuss fantasy & science fiction on television.
