Visiting Cal State Long Beach

At the request of The Orange County Register's science editor Gary Robbins, I'll be visiting his Journalism 303 class today to talk to his students.
Gary, the hardest-working person at the Reg, just started his own ScienceDude blog. He already keeps a busy blog for his class, which he teaches two days a week. He writes a science calendar every week. And he's a full-time reporter and editor. I feel like such a slug next to him.

Students e-mailed questions to me ahead of class, so in an attempt to outdo Gary, I blogged my answers. I decded to post them on my original blog, hosted at Blogger.com. If you page all the way down, you'll see some of my very first posts in the blogosphere. Of course, I didn't have time to get to all of the questions, but here's a few.
