Hey, this is nice: The Washington Post named District Comics one of the top 10 books of 2012. Nick Sousanis and I have a story in it…I’m happy with how it turned out, and glad to be in such good company.

I wish ‘comics’ wasn’t used as shorthand for The Superhero Industrial Complex (meaning, Marvel and DC and those trying to compete on Marvel/DC’s home turf).

I won’t get my wish, but I do get to say it in public. So thanks for that, world of tomorrow!

It’s an honor to be on Education Week’s list (and four times, at that!), and it’s a delight to see so many more comics about scientists.

In 1997 there were zero.

This sums it up:

EarthSky.org/radio aired a podcast interview with me a few days ago, and somehow I missed it. Maybe you did too.

Even if that doesn’t fill you with regret, there’s a lot more than just me on the show (good news!), but they still titled the episode as a whole “Richard Feynman is still awesome”. If you listen in, you’ll find out that I agree.

I continue my week of shameless self-promotion with a piece published in
Nature. It’s short, but Marc asked a lot more
great questions than he had room to present in the print version. We
talked for two hours, and he taught me at least a half-dozen things
about my own book.
