Speaking Engagements

Steve is available to speak to classrooms, groups, or organizations on nearly any aspect of modern astronomy and cosmology, from the birth of the elements to black holes and spacetime to the search for life elsewhere in the universe.  He frequently leads “star walks” and other astronomical gatherings to view the wonders of the night sky, which he infuses with insights from modern cosmology about the nature of the universe and our place in it.

Additionally, he gives lectures, workshops, and retreats on the transformative insights of modern cosmology and their relevance to daily life and personal experience.
