The cartoon strip's creator, Jok Church, will discuss the creation of the cartoon and the resonance it has found with the general public.
Paul Zaloom, the actor/comedian associated with the TV character Beakman isn't a scientist; yet he makes science accessible for children, parents, television critics -- even science teachers. Zaloom, wearing a tall fright wig and a neon green lab coat, answers kids' questions from "What is snot?" to "How does a roller coaster work?" and in the process, teaches kids about science -- at their level.
Beakman's World uses the same formula as cartoonist Jok Church's newspaper feature "You Can With Beakman and Jax" -- answering kids' inquiries about science -- but with all the high-tech twists required to nab the attention of kids weaned on music videos.
