Planetarians’ Zoom Seminar Alan Friedman was a pioneer in developing and nurturing techniques for audience participation in the planetarium world. This seminar will honor his legacy by looking at his career, his accomplishments, the people he mentored, and the audience participation strategies he promoted. To honor his philosophy that a planetarium audience is best served by actively involving them in their own planetarium learning, we will encourage audience participation in this seminar. Positions Alan held included Founding Director of The Lawrence Hall of Science Planetarium (then called the William K. Holt Planetarium), IPS President, and Founding Director of the New York Hall of Science. He was also a pioneer in using literature and other areas of the humanities for science teaching. Everyone is invited: those who knew Alan well and those who may only suspect that they have benefited from his work.
