Co-founder Albert Lin to speak on National Mall
WASHINGTON, DC – April 18, 2017 – Planet3, an exploration-based learning company, today announced its participation in the March For Science with a campaign designed to inspire kids to imagine themselves as the next generation of explorers, risk-takers, change agents and entrepreneurs – aka scientists.
Kicking off online today, as people around the world prepare to march, and culminating with an address from Planet3’s Co-founder and Chief Science Officer, Albert Lin, at The March for Science Washington DC event on Earth Day, April 22, the company is offering attendees free commemorative art from renowned artist Chuck Sperry and many online resources at http://exploreplanet3.com/changeagents.
“What we do with the next 50 years will determine the fate of the next 10,000, so we’re working hard to inspire the next generation of scientists through the lens of exploration,” said Lin. “After all, from Galileo to Goodall, the great scientists of all time have been explorers, risk-takers, entrepreneurs, change agents, adventurers, and truth seekers. What could be a more exciting life?”

My new book is available below. Here’s an overview of what’s inside.
Chuck Sperry’s new book “Helikon” gathers together his masterfully screen printed wood panel series of contemporary-classical muses: work inspired by the spirit of the modern rock poster, graffiti, and the utopian ethos of 1960’s psychedelia.
“Helikon” presents 36 sumptuously photographed Sperrys paired with the prose or poem — from Homer to Nick Cave — that inspired each. Over a dozen photos by Shaun Roberts give the reader an intimate portrait of the artist at work.
“Helikon” is Sperry’s beautifully designed, hand-bound coda to 5 years of artwork devoted to the perennial theme of Orphic Dionysian mysteries.
