I think it was this curiosity about the natural world which awoke my early interest in science.

Like many students, I found the drudgery of real experiments and the slowness of progress a complete shock, and at my low points I contemplated other alternative careers including study of the philosophy or sociology of science.

In the spirit of science, there really is no such thing as a 'failed experiment.' Any test that yields valid data is a valid test.

That's the show. it's like 5 minutes of science and then 10 minutes of me hurting myself.

We didn't set out to be educators or even scientists, and we don't purport that what we do is real science but we're demonstrating a methodology by which one can engage and satisfy your curiosity.

In Poland, my audience is all women between 18 and 30. At U.S. conventions, you have the fantasy and science fiction crowd. At Harvard you have an entirely different audience. It's so schizophrenic.
