POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Today on Live From the Archives we’re talking Oppenheimer! But not about J. Robert Oppenheimer, the atomic bomb, or the movie.

We’re gonna learn about Robert’s little brother, Frank Oppenheimer. Frank founded the Exploratorium in San Francisco, which sparked a revolution in science museums and science learning. We’ll learn about Frank’s vision through his Working Prototypes.

Before Frank, science museums celebrated the achievements of science and technology (and corporations and the military). Frank’s Exploratorium made learners the stars, using science and art to help visitors see the world…and themselves.

Join us at 9pm EST/6pm PST!

Russia launched the first man-made satellite, Sputnik 1, in 1957. Americans responded with shock, fear, and a new commitment to science education.

That public response to Sputnik 1 was based on a lie. It also prevented a massive leap forward in public climate knowledge. Sputnik was launched as part of the International Geophysical Year (IGY), the 16-month global project to study Earth, from its core to near space, and even the sun. 66 countries participated in IGY, which was spearheaded by the US and Russia.

For this week’s Live From the Archives livestream, we’ll be discussing IGY, the revolution in science that was silenced to fuel the Cold War. Join me and @djianhead tonight, October 7, streaming live on my YouTube channel YouTube.com/@dr_davemc. 9pm EST, 6pm PST!

“Education” is central to American empire. On today’s Live From the Archives, we’ll look at some of the stories told about the lands that America seized after the Spanish-American war. What were people supposed to learn about Hawaii, the Philippines, Puerto Rico, and Cuba? And why was the American military featured?

How we talk about science is a problem. We have to more specific, and honest, if we want for everyone to be on the same page.

(FWIW, my family does vaccines and we’re focused on addressing the climate crisis. The science establishment still has to be better)
