Looking Up: Getting Astroquizzical

Astroquizzical by Dr. Jillian Scudder

Dr. Jillian Scudder is an astrophysicist who teaches at Oberlin College in Ohio. She started a science blog in 2013 called Astroquizzicalwith an "ask the scientist" structure.

She's been answering questions ever since and recently released a book based on the blog, Astroquizzical: A Curious Journey Through Our Cosmic Family Tree

She talked about some of her favorite and most common questions with the Cincinnati Observatory's Dean Regas and guest host Lauren Worley, former NASA press secretary.

Dean Regas is the Astronomer for the Cincinnati Observatory and a renowned educator, a national popularizer of astronomy and an expert in observational astronomy.
