SUMMARY:Book Talk: Seeing Differently - A New Way to Look at Science
DESCRIPTION:Science progresses as we find new views on what we already know. Two DCSWA authors recently published books that explore the wonders that happen when you take a new perspective on an old subject. \nAmy Hansen\, author of Wanda Hears the Stars: A Blind Astronomer Listens to the Universe\, shows children through an illustrated book how a blind astrophysicist uses  sound to explore the universe. James Riordon\, author of Crush: Close Encounters with Gravity\, shows how to see gravity in your daily life – including picturing a black hole in your kitchen sink. \nWe’ll talk to them about their books\, how they came upon these insightful viewpoints (and how they sold them to a publisher!)\, and what’s next for each author. Join us for a virtual session on February 3 to chat with the authors. \nAmy S. Hansen is a science writer who specializes in kids’ publications. Besides the award-winning Wanda Hears the Stars\, she has more than 35 books out\, including the ever popular Curious About Sloths (Amicus\, 2022)\, Touch the Earth (NASA\, 2010)\, and the perennial favorite\, Bugs and Bugsicles: Insects in the Winter (Boyds Mills Press\, 2010). Amy has also worked as a journalist for NSF and AAAS\, and on many newspapers. \nJames Riordon is a journalist who covers physics\, math\, astronomy\, chemistry\, and Earth science. His articles have appeared in Science News Magazine\, Quanta Magazine\, Scientific American\, New Scientist\, and the Washington Post\, among other publications. He is currently a senior science writer with NASA’s Earth Science News team. In addition to authoring Crush: Close Encounters with Gravity\, James is coauthor of Ghost Particle: In Search of the Elusive and Mysterious Neutrino. \nRegister here.
