Science and Biz Day
I always say the same thing about Science Times, and I’ll say it again – I am very lucky to have a regular assignment where I can try whatever I think works best…some weeks that means more graphic, other times it’s drawing on an egg with a Sharpie, we have done parodies of Disney, and we have mixed photos with the illustrations. It really is a joy and a privelege to have that kind of freedom, and Peter is an ace. Here are a few highlights from the past two months:

And two from the NYTimes Biz Day – iPads devour bandwidth at hotels; 4-5 guns are found each day at airport security checkpoints, mostly in the carry-ons of lawful passengers who just forgot they were carrying guns…Really?
