Today Science Ink is published! Amazon has already run out of copies to sell, but not to worry--the books are spitting out of printers as I blog this. Order your copy, and it will get to you soon. If you're on the fence, check out this review from Nature (yes, that Nature, the venerable scientific journal): "Beautiful...packed with fascinating stories." (It's behind a paywall, alas...) On Thursday, I'll be heading off for the first of a bunch of events for the book. As part of the Bay Area Science Festival, I'll be in San Francisco on Friday. The first tattoo-themed stop will be Black & Blue Tattoo, on Friday from 7:15 to 8:15 pm. I'll be showing images from the book and telling some of the stories behind them. If you're a tattooed Bay Area scientist, please come and share your ink! The second stop will be Booksmith, at 8:30 pm. It's part of their Bookswap series. (I'll also be at a non-tattoo event as part the festival: Gut Check: The Hidden World of Microbes, on Friday at 12:30 at UC San Francisco. Details here.) Then it's on to Los Angeles, where I will be at Comikaze Expo, signing books on Saturday. I'll post my precise coordinates on Twitter. Lots more to come...
