Index card signed in blue pen. Clyde William Tombaugh (1906-1997) was an American astronomer, best known for the discovery of Pluto - the first known dwarf planet.

Bill Nye

On 4:04 AM by SteveL. in , , , , ,     No comments

8x10 color photo signed in black marker. I grew up watching Bill Nye on PBS. He contributed greatly to my lifelong love of science...and bow ties. Unfortunately, this photo showed up in pretty rough shape - you can't see from the scan, since most of the damage is to the white part. I may write to him again after the holiday season in hopes of getting at photo that isn't as banged up.

Neil deGrasse Tyson
Scientist

Copy of "The Pluto Files" signed in purple marker. I've been a big admirer of Mr. Tyson's science outreach work for a long time, which was only bolstered by the reboot of Cosmos. Arrived July 16th.

Richard Dawkins
Scientist / Author

Success! I sent out my copy of The Selfish Gene to Richard Dawkins over in England a few weeks ago, and it came back signed today! I'm a big fan of Mr. Dawkins' writing, and his book The God Delusion had a big impact on me when I first read it.

Jane Goodall
Scientist

8x10 photo signed by Jane Goodall. I'm a great admirer of Ms. Goodall's work. My Dad's undergrad degree was in anthropology, and he exposed me to her work with the chimpanzees in Tanzania at a young age. I may try to send her my copy of In The Shadow of Man next year.

David Attenborough

David Attenborough
Naturalist

5x7 color photo of famed naturalist Sir David Attenborough signed in black pen. I'm a relative newcomer when it comes to Mr. Attenborough's work, having been first exposed to him through Planet Earth. Since then I've seen most of the BBC Earth documentaries he narrates, as well as some of his earlier documentaries. Now I'm a big fan of Mr. Attenborough's work.

Noam Chomsky
Scientist and Philosopher

4x6 photo of philosopher and scientist Noam Chomsky. I sent this photo to Mr. Chomsky at MIT on July 13th and received it back in the mail this afternoon. Mr. Chomsky is one of the most famous of living scientists and the father of linguistics. His is the first autograph that I've gotten back from among the scientists I wrote to earlier this month.
