Lucy Hawking, Origins Project Writer-in-Residence
December 05, 2010ASU Origins Project Writer-in-Residence, Lucy Hawking, will be speaking at the Arizona Science Center on December 5 at 2 pm. Hawking has a knack for translating complex scientific concepts into language accessible by the general public, particularly children. Her "George" books--"George's Cosmic Treasure Hunt" and "George's Secret Key to the Universe"--allow kids to enjoy an exciting journey through space even as they are exploring the lastest scientific knowledge about our universe. Hawking is on campus for the academic year as the inaugural Origins Project Writer-in-Residence. She will be offering workshops on fiction writing through the Virginia G. Piper Center for Creative Writing and exploring the history of evil as a fellow with the Institute of Humanities Research.
