One of the first essays I workshopped in my MFA program was about Aristarchus and how he was the first person (on record) to present a heliocentric vision of our world. I thought it was the coolest subject ever, but most everyone else thought I was a huge dork.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17704845146768729518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1773951083886676220.post-37531007785063627762010-02-20T17:28:49.897-08:002010-02-20T17:28:49.897-08:00The book is about mathematical models of collectiv...The book is about mathematical models of collective animal behavior. So its actually a sort of math that is tangible to me. My husband was studying algae that live in perpetual darkness and saline water in a Dry Valley lake. The lead researcher is now involved with NASA's Endurance Project, which uses a submersible robot. My husband is now a full-time science/travel writer and parent.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10147284664183496856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1773951083886676220.post-52454345183537121562010-02-20T03:04:50.830-08:002010-02-20T03:04:50.830-08:00I love science because it is just so incredible, t...I love science because it is just so incredible, the way everything works, the amazingly intricate, convoluted nature of life forms and geological features and just about everything in the whole wide world. But the very idea of indexing a math book makes my mouth dry up. It's funny: I certainly don't understand all science, but it still fascinates me endlessly. I don't understand math, but it only confuses and depresses me... But I would not mock science OR math. I'm above that.<br /><br />Is that a seal mummy? Does your husband actually document things like this? That is SO COOL!Mary Witzlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06458299046574564155noreply@blogger.com
