Science

Ok this isn’t a research interest, I just love reading about science.   Particularly biological and cosmological evolution.  I love reading anything to do with astronomy, the origins of the universe, big bang, etc…

I will read anything by or about Richard Feynman.  He is one of my academic heroes, in spite of the fact that he had nothing but contempt for the social sciences and the humanities.
