My Photo

The Nature of the Emporium

  • I (a science writer) wondered aloud if scientists had tattoos of their science. The answer was yes, and this site is the evidence. I'll be adding a new tattoo every day until I run out (if that day ever comes). If you want to share your own scientific ink, send it to me with some explanation.

Subatomic Doodling

I first saw that image my freshman year of college. It had the sublime, simple beauty that only something made of math and science can have. It stuck with me for 8 more years before I actually decided to get it etched into me. Oddly enough, on Valentine's Day. I guess it was my Valentine's to physics and science. Oh, and when people ask who drew it, I always respond 'God.'"
