Crystallo-biography

Posted by sspiro on September 5, 2007

Science writer Georgina Ferry has a nice website.  I especially liked this:

It drives me mad that when people use the word ‘culture’ they invariably mean the arts. The sciences are as much an expression of human culture and civilisation as music, dance or painting.

I very much enjoyed reading Ferry’s biography of Dorothy Hodgkin a few years ago, and am looking forward to her new biography of Max Perutz, as soon as I can get hold of a copy.
