Art and Science



I've been immersed in reading science lately.  Echoes of past classes and projects.  What got me started was re-reading Oliver Sacks "Uncle Tungsten, Memories of a Chemical Boyhood".  My two favorites parts of the book are the sections on Uncle Tungsten at work in his light bulb factory and the lab he had built there and the descriptions of the Periodic Table in the Science Museum in South Kensington.  I've always been fascinated by the Periodic Table and think it's one of the most beautiful charts in science.
