Bio

During 50 years as a working scientist, my output included more than 200 scientific articles, as well as books and popular articles.  However, I constantly try to improve my writing. In science writing, the greatest virtues are logical structure and clarity. More recently, writing popular science raised the challenge of presenting my ideas in a non-technical, easy-to-follow style. This included writing little stories to convey ideas. Since retiring, my aim is to learn more about story telling, both to better communicate ideas to non-scientists, and as an end in itself.

Genre

General Fiction, Science Fiction, Poetry, Short Stories, Non Fiction
