The Case for Pluto

Taking 'The Case' on the road

Alan Boyle will be talking about The Case for Pluto at bookstores and other venues around the country. Here are some of the events scheduled so far:

March 12: Celebrate Pluto's planethood in the town where its discoverer was born, at the Planet Pluto Expo 2 (P²E²) in Streator, Illinois. I'll be speaking to several high-school and elementary-school classes during the day, and there'll be a talk and a book signing at Streator City Hall at 7 p.m. Check Streator's calendar of events for further details.

March 16: I'll be returning to the virtual world known as Second Life for an appearance on "The 1st Question" at 7 p.m. SLT / PT. Can I use my lifeline? Here's the SLURL that will teleport you to the show.

March 29: Science on Tap presents "The Case for Dwarf Planets" at Third Place Books in Seattle's Ravenna neighborhood. Things get started at 7 p.m., and you can have a brew as we lay some planetary science on you. Why else do you think they call it "Science on Tap"?

April 15: "The Case for Pluto" will be presented at the Marian Koshland Science Museum of the National Academy of Sciences, Washington, D.C.

April 20: I'll be in Boston and Cambridge, Massachusetts, to speak to the Knight Science Journalism fellows at MIT and perhaps organize a public event as well. Stay tuned for further word.

April 23: "The Case for Pluto" takes its place at the Columbia Alumni Book Fair at Low Library, Columbia University, New York. Learn more about Alumni Weekend 2010, presented by Columbia's Journalism School.
