This month’s edition of The Moment After introduces Pope Gregory XIII . You don’t get much more scientific than a sexy pope.

The second installment of The Moment After is published in The Times Eureka Magazine today. In this one we deal with Newton and an apple.

Yesterday was the debut of my new monthly comic strip in The Times Eureka Magazine. It’s called The Moment After and the first one imagines what happened in the seconds after Archimedes turned his washing routine into a masterclass on buoyancy and displacement. I’ve taken the chance to highlight the little known fact that his dog almost simultaneously made the very same discovery. Look out for another science lesson next month.

I definitely recommend trying to get hold of a copy of Eureka Magazine. There’s some bloody beautiful design (topped by Nathalie Lees’ sublime infographics) to go along with the massively interesting articles.
