EXPLORATHON 2023 Bright Club: Daniel Ridley-Ellis
No full textDaniel Ridley-Ellis is head of the Centre Wood Science and Technology at Edinburgh Napier University. He is one of the UK’s technical experts on guessing the strength of wood and can talk for hours on the topic – which he frequently does if nobody stops him. His main area of research is understanding the properties of wood, and how they are influenced by tree growth, forest management, and climate. He represents the UK at European Standards Committees for grading of construction timber, and the majority of structural sawn timber produced in the UK is now graded with settings he developed. He was named “woodland hero” for 2016 by Grown in Britain, and is also active in online learning, public engagement and science communication. He was the lead organiser of Bright Club Edinburgh from 2011 to 2023.What is Bright Club?Bright Club is the platform that transforms researchers into stand-up comedians and has been doing this for 10 years across the UK – it’s about having fun and audience participation!

In the first part of the interview there is discussion about the first book and how his new book will extend beyond the city limits to look at other sacred landmarks around the city. The next part of the interview Ellis notes the problems with getting access to some institutions and differences between religious groups and the clergy. Throughout the interview unique aspects of these landmarks are noted as well as religious differences. The later part of the interview Ellis notes how the churches have evolved and how parishioners have given insight to these landmarks. At the end of the interview discussion concludes with how the builders deserve credit along with the designers in construction of these landmarks.

Home in Time for Dinner by K. Ellis
No full textEllis, Kathryn. Home in Time for Dinner. Markham, ON: Red Deer Press, 2012. Print.From the author of the book Degrassi Junior High and scripts for the original Degrassi Junior High television show, comes a story about a thirteen-year-old boy who has grown up in Texas, not knowing that is father had abducted him from his Canadian mother in a nasty divorce and custody battle. Ellis is definitely in tune with teenage boys. She flawlessly takes the reader through Chris Ramsey’s discovery that he is one of the “missing children” profiled on television, his plan to escape and his flight to Canada. By presenting the story through Chris’s eyes, Ellis draws the reader into the world of a confused and distressed, but determined teenager.Ellis masterfully responds to all of the obvious objections to the events in the story. Why doesn’t Chris just go to the police? His father has taught him to fear and avoid the police. Chris makes terrible errors in judgement on his journey, but we know that his father has always controlled him, and not allowed him to make decisions, so he has little experience with it. Remarkably, his mother still lives in the same apartment in Kingston, but Ellis tells us that she’s been waiting for him to return. So while, objectively, the plot is too tidy, it doesn’t seem that way when you are reading the story. The one point that really stretches the suspension of disbelief is Chris’ being easily smuggled across the border. While the plot line is simple, Ellis has a knack for getting at the essence of a situation in just a few words. Whether the alcoholic former preacher who gives Chris a ride, the manipulative Moth who gives a him a place to sleep and then robs him or the moment when Chris’s mother recognizes her child who has been missing for years, Ellis creates unforgettable characters and scenes. This is one of the best young adult novels that I have read recently. It is not a high literary work, but it is a good read and would be a great addition to public and junior high school libraries. Highly recommended: 4 stars out of 4 Reviewer: Sandy CampbellSandy is a Health Sciences Librarian at the University of Alberta, who has written hundreds of book reviews across many disciplines. Sandy thinks that sharing books with children is one of the greatest gifts anyone can give
