This week's Snacks4theBrain! features a brief talk with dynamic astronomer Dr. Keivan Stassun, whose work to encourage students of minority descent to pursue careers in the sciences, particularly in physics and astronomy, is positively inspirational. We'll talk about his "Scopes for Schools" project and about what got him into science in the first place; and we'll learn what he is currently up to in his ongoing research. Come share a listen.

This song is one of my favorites, entitled "Outside After Bedtime." Thanks, Dave! And thank you, Dr. Stassun. You're a new hero of mine! That's the best part of my job here, dontcha know--getting to meet so many new heroes! Clear skies, and Happy Thanksgiving, ya'll!
