Real Clever Science

My name is Ari Einbinder. This is the journal of my travels into the realm of science and science education.
Currently I'm interning at the American Museum of Natural History in NYC, and I'm also one of Tumblr's Science Section editors.

I discuss anything that fascinates me, but popular topics include evolution, transhumanism (e.g BCI), futurism, psychology, quantum computing, climate change, sustainability, genetic engineering and occasionally politics - to name a few.

Enjoy!

The fragility of the media means exhibiting is difficult - the head has to be placed into a glass case which is chilled from underneath. It reminds the audience of the fragility of existence and the precise conditions necessary for the flourishing of life Science + Art = Awesome.
