Welcome to Intelligence Squared.
Im senior producer Connor Boyle for this edition of the podcast.
Were looking to the skies for a conversation about matters celestial, focusing on the second largest thing in it, visually at least, the moon with science writer and now author Rebecca Boyle.
Our host for this discussion is Daniel Glaser.
Daniel is a neuroscientist who has worked for many years promoting public engagement with science.
Hes the director of engagement at the Royal Institution.
Lets hear more from Daniel now.
Rebecca Boyle is an award winning science writer whose words have appeared in titles such as the Atlantic, New Scientist, the New York Times, and more.
Shes a contributing editor at Scientific American and was also a night science journalism fellow at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Her new book is Our Moon.
Its both a meticulous scientific account of the forces at play around that big rock in the sky, and also something of a cultural history of how we humans, humans on earth have been inspired by it over millennia to write our own myths and stories, to study its astronomy, and eventually actually to visit it too.
