Dr. Wright, I took Astro 001 with you a few semesters ago and you made the class, pun intended, an out of this world experience. Thank you for being a great teacher.

Two questions: what, in your opinion, is the likelihood of these objects being extraterrestrial?

Secondly, how fun is it to teach that gen ed class and see the reactions of non-science majors?

Hello Mr. Handler, huge fan of the Unfortunate Series and I'm wondering what you did to find inspiration in writing the each of the puzzles the children had to solve. How did you go about figuring out how each puzzle added to the plot of the series and each book? Thanks for doing this AMA!

Hi Diana, I'm a Florida resident and heard a lot about your journey on local south Florida news channels. One thing they never really explained were the legal issues. In particular, how did you have to work out the legalities of going to Cuba and then swimming to the US?

Hello! I just want to say thanks for doing this AMA and a BIG thanks for your service to our country. My dad is a Vietnam vet and has PTSD. It was always very hard for me to understand why he acted the way he did or why he didn't say he loved me or was proud of me. I learned about PTSD through this short book titled "Why is Daddy Like He Is?" I got to read it when I was a teenager and finally understood why he operated the way he did. He is an alcoholic and has pretty much given up hope on living for much longer. He has, however, won a battle with the VA after over 30 years of trying and is making amends in whatever way he can, without being very emotional about it. My question is, do your kids have some sort of an understanding of your PTSD, perhaps not how you got it, but where and when? My dad never told me anything about Vietnam and I understand.
