Hey friends - I am in Antarctica with extremely slow and limited internet and I have a book coming out this year that I'd normally be posting more about because pre-orders are *critical* to a book's success.

Help me get the word out?

OUT THERE: THE SCIENCE BEHIND SCI-FI FILM AND TV

From black holes to space elevators and extraterrestrial civilizations, this is a rich and beautifully illustrated book for your coffee table. And astronaut Mae Jemison wrote the Foreword!

@arielwaldman My older daughter is also in Antarctica, currently traversing Thwaites Glacier and collecting ground-penetrating radar data of the underlying firn layers

@loydcase Awesome! I just met someone today who is working on that project via the British Antarctic Survey (but is at McMurdo currently).

@arielwaldman She’s part of the larger group that includes the British crew. She flew out for an organizing session in Scotland last Spring; I flew out afterwards and we hung out in Edinburgh for a few days. However, she is part of the American side, working on her doctorate in Glaciology at Lamont-Dohery (Columbia).
