Science and Technology Guests on Late Night, Week of February 25

It’s now almost surprising when I have items of substance to pass along here.  But this week I can do more than just post about those who play doctors on TV (Ellen Pompeo from Grey’s Anatomy was on Jimmy Kimmel Live on February 28).

Chiwetel Ejiofor is an actor who recently completed his first feature as a director.  It’s an adaptation of The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind, the story of a young Malawi boy who built a wind turbine for his village.  Ejiofor was on The Daily Show on February 25th.  The boy who built the windmill, William Kamkwamba, was featured on this blog back in 2009.

I’ll close with the March 1 edition of The Talk, which featured an actor from Star Trek: Discovery who plays a scientist.  Ethan Peck was on the program, and he plays Spock on the CBS All Access show (available on Netflix elsewhere in the world).
