Your Astro C10 class - Intro To General Astronomy - is always one of the largest and most popular classes on campus (~600 students per semester). For a lot of people, it's as much science as they'll ever take, so it seems like a major goal of yours has been to instill a sense of appreciation and general undersatanding of how astrophysics is important to us. Do you think that same model should be used in other core scientific fields, to give people the kind of understanding that makes them informed voters/citizens without expecting that they devote their lives to a field before they encounter the big stuff?

Are you required to report anything that you discover to law enforcement? What's the relationship like between private investigators and the police?

Thanks for your response! While I was at Cal, I never got the chance to take your C10 course - ended up running some star parties for you, though. Keep up the good work!
