There are two things I like to do. The first, is that I tend to look at stuff that many people don’t care about and visit places that many people will not visit. Some things that interest others will definitely catch my attention, but I am mostly drawn to the unusual even if it is sometimes boring. The second thing that I like to do, is check out the science behind things. So, you combine one with the other, and what do you get? Random Science! Yes, that is the title of my most recent book. In it, I check out the science behind a motley assortment of things ranging from bones, clouds, rocks, cicadas, and carnivorous plants, to amusement park rides, musical saws, phonographs, and singing wine glasses. But that is only part of the story. This book also features a cute cat which has become the mascot of my website and which appears in the book under her professional name, Science Cat. Science Cat helps me to present some awesome science facts as well as to showcase the science behind cats like herself. This book is part trivia and fun facts, part nature writing and how things work, and part cats. So if you are interested in an eclectic mix of the interesting, the mundane, and the curious, join Science Cat and me in the exploration of Random Science! You can see the book and read a sample following this link.
