Dr. Schulman has been on the editorial board of
The Annals of Improbable Research
(AIR) since 1998.
He's
written eighteen articles for AIR,
including "How to Write a Scientific
Paper" and "The History of the Universe
in 200
Words
or Less." Two of his works appear in
The Best of Annals of Improbable Research
[W.H. Freeman Publishers, 1997]. His science humor has also
appeared in Null Hypothesis, The
Science Creative Quarterly, and The
Journal of Polymorphous Perversity.
Dr. Schulman's reading of "The
History of the Universe in 200 Words or Less'' has been broadcast
on National Public Radio's "Talk
of the Nation/Science Friday" and "Sounds Like
Science," the Canadian Broadcasting Company's "Quirks and Quarks,"
and Public Radio International's "The
World" radio programs. The history has been translated into more
than 30
languages
and provided the inspiration for his 1999 book,
A Briefer History of Time. A slideshow version, "The
History of the Universe in 60 Seconds or Less," can be found on the
National Science
Foundation website.
In 2004, Dr. Schulman discussed his Algorithm
for Determining the Winners of U.S.
Presidential Elections on Dutch
Public Television.
