World Science Festival 2009

This weekend wraps up the World Science Festival in New York, and there are still many great events lined up, featuring lots of familiar names: festival co-founder Brian Greene, Sean Carroll, Frank Wilczek, Andy Borowitz, Leon Lederman, Bobby McFerrin, and Oliver Sacks.

I especially recommend:

Friday:
Picturing Earth: The Story of Life in Images
Da Vinci Detective
Matter: Stories of Atoms and Eyes
Notes & Neurons: In Search of the Common Chorus

Saturday:
Avian Einsteins
Infinite Worlds
Time Since Einstein
Time: The Familiar Stranger

Sunday:
World Science Festival Street Fair @ Washington Square Park
Author's Corner

See you there...

The Greatest Place on Earth

Tucked innocently on a shelf in the physics section at The Strand, I found a signed first edition copy of The God Particle, and only paid $12 for it!
