Communicating Astronomy with the Public 2007: Proceedings from the IAU/National Observatory of Athens/ESA/ESO Conference, Athens

Scientific paper

Many of the IYA2009 activities that were discussed at this meeting involve the internet, podcasting, television, radio or other technology-driven methods of spreading the word about astronomy to the wider world. These are essential ways of reaching our audience 24 hours a day and the IYA2009 project could not happen without them. But they are sometimes rather impersonal ways of communicating. We are so used to this that we forget that the quick and easy transmission of information without personal contact is a relatively new possibility. We have evolved as social creatures, and what I want to champion here is a social activity that involves a live audience and an even livelier performer.
