I am called upon to speak about Light Pollution Abatement, Scotobiology and
Dark Sky Preserves. However, travel time and the presentation can require the
commitment of three days. So when travel is involved, I now email my presentation
slides before hand and present over the telephone or, more recently, using
Skype.
If you would like to take advantage of this economical lecture format, contact me.
