UPCOMING EVENTS
We will be having an author visit next Monday! Jorge Cham is the best-selling and Emmy-nominated creator of "PHD Comics," the popular ongoing comic strip about life (or the lack thereof) in Academia. He is the co-creator and co-Executive Producer of the celebrated animated series “Elinor Wonders Why,” which airs on PBS Kids and in 78 countries around the world. He is the co-author of the award-winning book “We Have No Idea” (and its follow-up “FAQ-U”), and the co-host of the iHeart Radio show “Daniel and Jorge Explain the Universe.” He is also the co-founder of PHDtv, a video science and discovery outreach collaborative, and the author of the upcoming books “Oliver's Great Big Universe” and “Out of Your Mind.” Jorge earned his Ph.D. in Robotics from Stanford University and was an Instructor and Research Associate at Caltech from 2003–2005. He is originally from Panama.
Cosmos meets “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” in “Oliver’s Great Big Universe,” an original illustrated middle-grade fiction series that blends science with narrative from the Emmy Award–nominated creator of PBS’s “Elinor Wonders Why.” With laugh-out-loud humor and cartoon-style illustrations from the bestselling writer and creator of PHD Comics, Jorge Cham, “Oliver’s Great Big Universe” is a STEAM-themed, diary-style series following an 11-year-old who’s taking on the whole universe—if he can survive middle school first.
