Bio
Andrew Fraknoi recently retired as the Chair of the Astronomy Department at Foothill College, and now teaches non-credit astronomy courses for seniors at the University of San Francisco's Fromm Institute and San Francisco State's OLLI. He served as the Executive Director of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific for 14 years and still assists the Society with educational programs and materials. While at the Society, he created Project ASTRO, introduced "The Universe in the Classroom" newsletter for educators, and organized symposia on teaching college astronomy. With Sidney Wolff, he was a founding editor of the journal "Astronomy Education Review."
Fraknoi appears regularly on local and national radio, explaining astronomical developments in everyday language, and was the California Professor of the Year in 2007. He is the lead author on a free, open-source college astronomy textbook published by the non-profit OpenStax project at Rice University (http://openstax.org/details/astronomy ). He has written two children’s books and two activity guides for teachers on astronomical topics. He also writes science fiction stories, and has had four published so far. The International Astronomical Union has named Asteroid 4859 Asteroid Fraknoi to honor his contributions to the public understanding of science.
