I am finding it difficult to describe just how entertaining I found this interaction to be. I hope heyyymelissa feels an appropriate sense of pride each time you are spotted looking dashing in a suit.

Was that from memory or did you look it up?

I'll sick Giorgio Tsoukalos on you if we find out you're lying...

I don't remember approving of this...

..but before I speak with your higher-ups, how do you think we, as a country, are doing concerning the promotion of astrophysics, or even physics as a career in general?

I get a warm and fuzzy feeling inside every time I see a show like "The Universe" referenced out in the wild, but the ratio of Kardashian to Scientific references is still shockingly high.

It's a complicated problem, so I guess I'm asking you where you think its roots lie. Is it an early education problem? Or is it a culture problem? Or are they so related that you can't differentiate between the two?

Thanks so much for your contributions! And I'm so sorry about Ancient Aliens... Gotta pay the bills man...

One presents flat out scientific lies and misrepresentations as facts, and the others are just fluff meant for entertainment purposes. And you think the fluff is the bigger problem?

I mean I'm not particularly proud of either effort, but at least I have my shame-priorities straight.

Thanks! And I couldn't agree more. For children of that age, shows like "Bill Nye the Science Guy" and promoters of fun, accessible ideas like "pi day" can really make a dent in this growing issue, so thanks for all of your (and your wife's) hard work!
