Phil Plait (The Bad Astronomer)
The Bad Astronomer (a.k.a. Phil Plait) has been busy since we’ve last had him on Lab Out Loud. As astronomer, public speaker, science evangelizer, and author, Phil can now add YouTube host to his resume. Working with Hank and John Green (Crash Course) and PBS Digital Studios, Phil has been writing and filming a new series on YouTube called Crash Course Astronomy. Listen to the show to hear Phil discuss his experiences in making Crash Course Astronomy and how you might properly use it in your classroom.
