The Joy of Science is a popular video and audio course series, consisting of 60 lectures, each 30 minutes long, presented by Dr. Robert Hazen of the George Mason University and the Carnegie Institution of Washington. The course, first introduced in 2001, is part of The Great Courses (TGC) series, and is produced and distributed by The Teaching Company (TTC), located in Chantilly, Virginia in the United States.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]

Background[edit]

Dr. Robert Hazen

Dr. Robert Hazen is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

The Mineralogical Society of America presented Hazen with the Mineralogical Society of America Award in 1982, and the Distinguished Public Service Medal in 2009.[8][9] In 2016, he received its highest award, the Roebling Medal.[10][11] He also served as Distinguished Lecturer and is a Past President of the Society. A mineral that was discovered in Mono Lake was named hazenite in his honor by Hexiong Yang, a former student of his.[12][13]

In 1986, Hazen received the Ipatieff Prize, which the American Chemical Society awards in recognition for "outstanding chemical experimental work in the field of catalysis or high pressure".[14]

For his popular and educational science writing, Hazen received the E.A. Wood Science Writing Award from the American Crystallographic Association in 1998,[15]

In 2012, the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia presented Hazen with its Outstanding Faculty Award.[16]

Hazen has presented numerous named lectures at universities. He gave a Directorate for Biological Sciences Distinguished Lecture at the National Science Foundation in 2007,[17] and was named the Sigma Xi Distinguished Lecturer for 2008–2010.[18][19]

This site seems to be entirely for promotion of a commercial product. Constant314 (talk) 16:39, 10 May 2018 (UTC)

Withdrawn by nominator- article has been improved to the point that it no longer is a concern. Constant314 (talk) 02:23, 15 May 2018 (UTC)

Keep − @Constant314: − The Joy of Science (Original Author: Drbogdan) is a notable and worthy article for inclusion in Wikipedia since the content is presented as a matter of fact and is well supported with reliable references - and is not at all intended to be promotional anymore than the numerous articles for particular books (such as The Grand Design), particular videos (such as Cancer), particular films (such as Hawking), particular TV programs (such as Genius), particular music (such as Piano Sonata No. 10) or even a particular song (such as Happy Birthday) - hope this helps in some way - in any case - Enjoy! :) Drbogdan (talk) 17:24, 10 May 2018 (UTC)

I am noting that DrBogdan seems to be the editor adding a lot of references? I came here because I found it being added to several articles on my watchlist in the Also See sections.--Andrew Lancaster (talk) 21:00, 10 May 2018 (UTC)

Comment – @Andrew Lancaster: – Thank you for your comments - yes - links were added in several selected articles to the newly created article (ie, The Joy of Science) - which, to me at the time, seemed to be relevant articles for such links; and were added in good faith - however - it's *entirely* ok with me to rv/rm/mv/ce the edits of course - in any case - Thanks again - and - Enjoy! :) Drbogdan (talk) 21:46, 10 May 2018 (UTC)

To me, it reads like advertising copy. There are accolades for the author and even his wife. There is a complete list of all the available modules. There is even an endorsement from Bill Gates. Constant314 (talk) 21:41, 10 May 2018 (UTC)

Comment – @Constant314: – I have no problem whatsoever in any help to improve the article (ie,The Joy of Science) - the article was newly created (only a day old at the moment) and is intended only as a start - any improvement for a better article is *always* welcome of course - hope this helps - in any regards - Enjoy! :) Drbogdan (talk) 21:53, 10 May 2018 (UTC)

Done – @Constant314: – at least for the most part - trimmed text/subsection of possible concerns noted above - any further edits (rm, ce or additions) can easily be done by editors in the usual way, or at least by discussions on the talk-page (ie, "Talk:The Joy of Science"), I would think - in any case - Enjoy! :) Drbogdan (talk) 13:11, 11 May 2018 (UTC)

Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Science-related deletion discussions. MT TrainTalk 04:15, 11 May 2018 (UTC)

Comment - The most extensive coverage I could find by independent sources were in two books on home schooling (here and here) and a blog (which, of course, is not usually considered a reliable source, but it had some interesting comments). I have added these to the citations at the end of the lead. Whether that is enough to establish notability is not for me to say - I have a potential conflict of interest because of our shared connection with the Deep Carbon Observatory. RockMagnetist (DCO visiting scholar) (talk) 00:02, 13 May 2018 (UTC)

Comment - :: Done - @RockMagnetist (DCO visiting scholar) and Constant314: Thank you for the recent suggestions at "Talk:The Joy of Science#Some suggestions"- yes - agreed - on the main article page=> "rm wls re description subsection & rm ext link re the possibly too commercial "The Joy of Science" official site - per the talk-page at "Talk:The Joy of Science#Some suggestions" - hope this helps - Thanks again for the suggestions - and - Enjoy! :) Drbogdan (talk) 13:20, 13 May 2018 (UTC)
