On simple-minded science
originally posted at erinbow.com
Here's a video of me on my personal connection between literature and science: both are simple-minded, monastic, and willing to dig deep. Simple-mindedness is a virtue to me. Want to know why? Here:
I'm addressing the Knowledge Integration Students at the University of Waterloo: students who decided to integrate a number of different passions instead of narrowing themselves to one. They are an impressive and exciting group and I was honoured to get to talk to them. The book I mention researching is *Sorrow's Knot.*
This is up online thanks to the good folks at The New Quarterly (hi, Melissa!) who edited this down from an hour. The edit is so good it makes me wonder what else I said. Over at their QuArc issue (a joint issue with Arc celebrating the intersection between science and literature) you can see more video from this talk, and read my essay on the history of the names of quarks.
