Science + The City episode at George Brown College
A friend of mine was working out at the gym this week, and as she was pumping it up she saw a clip on the Discovery Channel on one of the TV screens. It was an episode of one of the Daily Planet’s Science + The City shows hosted by Alan Nursall, in which he questions a group of George Brown College students and staff members in the foyer of the St. James campus.
It just so happens I’m on the video, as one of the audience members. The episode is all about comets; how they’re formed, what creates the tail, etc. We were asked if we wanted to participate in the show and I’ve always loved astronomy and other science subjects, so I immediately agreed to take part.
It was actually filmed last year (2008) but I forgot all about it until now. I’d never even seen the clip, but after my friend told me about it I did a search on the Discovery Channel web site and managed to find the video.
My contribution to the show has been digitally immortalized and I can be heard uttering the profound words: “Organic compounds” at 01:54 minutes into the video time-line. I have other contributions to make, of course, but I don’t want to give it all away—go see for yourself!
Here’s a link to the video (it begins with a short ad).
