Bio:	Professor Burns earned his M.A. from The Ohio State University. He teaches both introductory and upper level writing courses, including Writing for the Workplace. He combines diverse but complementary careers as a teacher, columnist, and astronomer. As an expository writing teacher for the past 21 years, he has taught a wide array of writing courses and given seminars on writing for businesses, schools, and other organizations. As an astronomer he is Director of Ohio Wesleyan's Perkins Observatory and teaches astronomy classes at Ohio Wesleyan in the Department of Physics and Astronomy.  Combining these careers, he writes a weekly column on astronomy for the Columbus Dispatch and regularly does both public relations and grant writing on behalf of Perkins Observatory and the endowment campaign to save this unique and historical facility.
