Let me give a big thank you to Gloria McMillan for hosting me on the Tucson Hard-Science SF Zoom (THSSFZ) on November 1, 2025. I was very honored to speak about “Science Fiction and Astrobiology in the Muslim World.” This lecture was part of the “Forry Ackerman Memorial” series of Global SF ambassadors for peace, which also includes a previous talk by Emad El-Din Aysha. In addition to Glo, I give special thanks to her husband Bob and son Chris for helping sustain the Tucson Hard-Science SF Writers and Artists Group. You can watch a recording on the Tucson Hard-Science SF Channel on YouTube:
