science

Our book about Einstein is out now. It’s been a long trip from conception to publication, and I’m proud of what Jerel Dye and I (along with Alison Acton and Alex Lu) have made. I’ve been talking about it a lot on the social media sites, so if you follow me there you’ve seen many excerpts. We’re celebrating its launch with some events:

Nov. 15, 7pm: Brookline Booksmith

Nov 16, 7pm: An Unlikely Story

And I’ve done a little media about it as well:

Pint o’ Comics

John Scalzi’s “The Big Idea”

The Virtual Memories Show

So if you want to learn more about what we did and why, please join us at one or more of those real or virtual places and we’ll talk about genius, science, and how those come together in comics!

 

 

That’s definitely not a title built for SEO, but hey, it’s accurate. And we’re all about precision and accuracy here at G.T. Labs.

Mostly.

2019 was the International Year of the Periodical Table, and to celebrate—you know, in addition to taking part in the usual exchange of Mendeleev-themed greeting cards and transuranic chocolates—you could stop on by the Royal Society of Chemistry’s site and read comics. That’s right, comics invaded Chemistry World, and I wrote ’em. The first few are drawn by Roger Langridge, who I’ve always been a fan of and whose work on these (mostly) true stories is even more remarkable than you must expect of me to tell you how. (To paraphrase the Messenger in Much Ado About Nothing, since I feel like my part in all this is mostly as a means to introduce scientists to great artists.)

Following Roger’s work you’ll get (if you sign in) more comics by Metaphrog, Isabel Greenberg, Kate Ashwin, Nick Abadzis, and Merlin Strangeway.

Enjoy!
