 Wolfgang Pauli and Niels Bohr spinning a top I enjoy speaking -- through the media, before professional groups, and especially to the general public -- on topics related to science and medicine. Right now, of course, my interests focus on the themes of "The Alchemy of Air" (the effect of industrial chemistry on our lives; the ecological effects of large-scale chemical production; overpopulation and food availability), and "The Demon under the Microscope" (the birth of modern medicine, the impact medical discoveries have on our lives, and the dangers involved). I also speak widely on Linus Pauling, the genesis of scientific ideas, and the Vitamin C controversy. To schedule a talk, please write me directly. |
