EIDOS

To the person who decided to commit even for a moment to my nonsensical ramblings about this organization, you have made my day, and I just want to thank you. You know who you are.

Just kidding, your email has a 13 in it. Hope that’s not too weird to say or revealing. If so, comment and I’ll delete that bit.

Thank you, as well, to anyone from here on out who’s odd enough to follow in their footsteps. Thank you to those who read the last post, this one, or the next.

I’m very grateful and will do what I can to be worthy of your time. You read at your own peril. That subscribe button is a very elaborate legal binding contract which is mostly me apologizing profusely.

Tomorrow I’m going to start a review of Stuff Matters by Mark Miodownik — an excellent popular science book exploring material science in a very accessible and informative manner. He even emailed me back when I reached out! Upstanding citizen really.

The review will be broken up into whatever chunks I manage to get done day by day, so the length is not known, and I’ll probably combine them at a later date. After that, I’ll start trying to review papers, breaking them into layman’s terms and trying to contextualize their impact, to both improve your understanding and mine. Heavy on the metaphors, but a little light on the formal education*.

Adjacent to that, I’ll be putting together experiments for the home scientist, open resources, daily explorations on the history of random materials, manufacturing methods, and reaching out to experts in the field for interviews or consultation.

The last post was lacking some details, so I hope that miniature road map helps.
