Language Matters: A 35-Year Pogue Rant
Rescheduled Time! Thursday 9 February 2023; 2:00 to 3:00 PM Eastern time (GMT -5)
Join tech writer (New York Times), tech writer (O'Reilly's “Missing Manual” series), TV Host (“CBS Sunday Morning,” “NOVA” on PBS), podcaster (“Unsung Science”), TED speaker (five times), novelist, and climate-change expert David Pogue as he recounts his evolution, learnings, and tips as an explainer. It’s entirely possible that he’ll go on one of his rants about jargon, passive voice, and empathy in technical writing.

I want to take a specific course that isn't listed online. Will it be offered in the future?
