by  Authors on Call, iNK Think Tank

Program image

Vicki Cobb, recipient of the AAAS Lifetime Achievement Prize for 2012, tells the story of how the imaginations of Copernicus and Galileo predicted the proof that the sun moves around the earth. Children will become outraged at Galileo's punishment and will quickly see that we're still resisting scientific truth. This program humanizes the BIG ideas of science.
