The Science of...

Science is wonderful! The more we learn about how the world works, the more we find that all its parts fit together like a well-oiled machine. To do the work that I do, I need to learn about science all the time - whether it's computer science to be a better software developer, cognitive psychology to be a better cognitive science, or physics to be a better science fiction author.

In these pages, I've put together presentations and tutorials on some of my favorite topics, starting with the Science of Airships, a talk I developed as I was working on THE CLOCKWORK TIME MACHINE and which I delivered at the Clockwork Alchemy steampunk conference on Memorial Day, 2012. The presentation is available for download, but be warned, it's more than 60 megs. I'll add more bitesized chunks to Science of Airships page itself.
