Scientific American: Q&A with Brian Greene
April 30, 2008Read about the ideas driving the World Science Festival, the need for multiple explanations, and the power of children’s questions in this interview with the Festival’s co-founder.
Where did the idea for the World Science Festival come from? How can the Festival reach people who usually stay away from science? And why can one Festival program trace its roots back to a small school in the Midwest? You can now read up on all this and much more in a frank and personal interview that has just appeared in Scientific American, the popular monthly science and technology magazine. The interview can be found online as A Science Fête Project: A Q&A with Brian Greene; an abbreviated version will appear in print in the June 2008 issue of Scientific American.
The World Science Festival will feature many of the world’s leading scientists (including 12 Nobel Laureates), as well as dancers, musicians, actors, architects, journalists, and filmmakers in a four day series of programs celebrating scientific exploration and discovery.
