After two years of running the Read More Science blog for popular science book reviews, I find myself leaning in a different direction. I spent a lot of time considering this decision, and I’ve decided to change readmorescience.com from a blog for book reviews to my personal website as a science writer, so I canContinue reading “New Year, New Look, Big Changes”

A few of my favorite things – history, science, and cats – come together in this lively and entertaining adventure into a question that has plagued physicists for hundreds of years. Apparently physicists’ fascination with felines didn’t begin with Erwin Schrödinger’s dilemma with a cat. Long before Schrödinger designed his thought problem about a catContinue reading “How Physics Found Out Why Cats Always Land On Their Feet”
