Today is the official release date for Eureka: Discovering Your Inner Scientist<\/a>, so of course there are a bunch of exciting things happening:<\/p>\n

— There’s a short excerpt at the Science of Us blog<\/a> from New York Magazine. This is a chunk of the Introduction, about how scientists are smart, but not that<\/em> smart.<\/p>\n

— I wrote a Big Idea essay at Whatever<\/a>, talking about how this book is about the BIGGEST idea in the history of humanity<\/em>. Which is only a tiny bit of hyperbole.<\/p>\n

— Rosemary Kirstein included Eureka as a gift suggestion<\/a>, which is very cool, as she writes awesome books. You should check them out<\/a>.<\/p>\n

— Union’s director of communications wrote a nice news piece on the book<\/a> (full disclosure: I play basketball with him regularly…).<\/p>\n

— A review from Rhett at Dot Physics<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Also, I will be on Think<\/a> tomorrow afternoon (well, noon Central time, 1pm Eastern) talking about the book. And I’ll be signing books Sunday from 12-1:30 at The Open Door<\/a> in Schenectady. Other fun stuff is in the works, and details will be posted when available.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
