Timothy Ferris Biography

Millions of people have been introduced to the wonders of the cosmos through his twelve enlightening books and two renowned PBS series, Life Beyond Earth and The Creation of the Universe. The New York Times recognized Coming of Age in the Milky Way and The Whole Shebang as two of the most significant novels released in the 20th century, and both of these titles are among his best-sellers. The most recent book by Tim Ferris, Seeing in the Dark, is likewise included among the best sellers in the New York Times. Professor Ferris is a multidimensional academic who has taught in five different academic fields at four different colleges. He is presently a Professor Emeritus at the University of California, Berkeley. He has won the Klumpke-Roberts award for lifelong service to public knowledge of astronomy, the American Association for the Advancement of Science prize, the American Institute of Physics medal, and a Guggenheim Fellowship. In order to preserve an alien record of earthly music sounds and encoded images, Ferris designed the Voyager phonograph record. The record, which was set onboard the Voyager interstellar probe in 1976, should last for a billion years.
