My guest today is Neil Thompson: author, speaker, engineer, and host of the  teach the geek podcast. Neil is an advocate of science and engineering  education, a children's author and a educator in the area of improving  the speaking skills of technical professionals. In particular, Neil  founded the teach the geek to speak platform which contains many helpful  materials, including videos and other resources to help you as a  technical professional, including scientist and engineer, make your  ideas come to life to technical and non-technical audiences alike. I got  to know Neil a few months ago when I was a guest on his the teach the  geek podcast, and I almost feel that I have to give him a producer  credit for ideas in stem Ed, because he has actually connected me with  the last few podcast guests. It is my honor to speak to him today.
