Willie Soon is both an astrophysicist and a geoscientist at the Solar, Stellar, and Planetary Sciences Division of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. He is the receiving editor in the area of solar and stellar physics for the journal New Astronomy. He writes and lectures both professionally and publicly on the sun, other stars, and the earth, as well as general science topics in astronomy and physics. He is the senior author of The Maunder Minimum and the Variable Sun-Earth Connection and coauthor of Introduction to Astronomy, a textbook used for students with little or no access to telescopes.
In 2003, Soon was asked to testify in the U.S. Senate and was later recognized with a monetary award for "detailed scholarship on bio-geological and climatic change over the past 1,000 years by the Smithsonian Institution." In 2004, he was presented with the Petr Beckmann Award by Doctors for Disaster Preparedness for "courage and achievement in defense of scientific truth and freedom."
