Transporter Pie
December 23rd, 2008
Thanksgiving in Atlanta. My sister served up a picture-perfect slice of apple pie for Tara.
Mine looked like a transporter accident:
It was still delicious, of course. The replicator just needs a little tweaking, is all.
Nature Abhors a Science Comedian

“I am at two with Nature.” - Woody Allen
* * *
Unlike Woody, today I am at one with Nature… the magazine, anyway. One page of it.
There’s a short Q&A with me in the current issue of Nature. The writer/interviewer is Nick Thomas, who is not only a chemistry professor but also an impressively prolific freelance writer.
The photo was taken at SciFoo 2008 by John Gilbey… although the background has been entirely photoshopped out, leaving me looking like a cut out for a Monty Python animation.
Still, I’m in Nature. That’s pretty cool.
Did I say “abhors”? I meant “adores.”
