Introducing Rik from Digital Learning

Hi I'm Rik, senior manager of Digital Learning at the Cal Academy.  Here's a few things about me I'd like you to know.

There are lots of things that I'm really passionate about. In school I really enjoy English because I get to read books and stories that I wouldn't normally read. My favorite personal genre is science-fiction. Right now I'm reading the graphic novel "Saga" which is really amazing and "Red Shirts" by John Scalzi which apparently is required reading for a Trek-head like me.

As for science, I'm particularly interested in astronomy, particularly the search for exo-planets and extra-terrestrial life. Basically I'm a big space nerd.

Here's a science video that I really enjoyed.  It's called "Dance Your PhD." I love how it incorporates social dancing to describe the search for a cure for cancer, something we all should be excited about.
