Real Scientists Don't Wear Ties links science to general and
popular culture and everyday life in an easy-to-understand style.
When a gifted writer of science selects his best pieces published
in the world's most reputable periodicals such as Nature, Discover,
and MIT Technology Review, we get an eminently readable collection
of his varied work in book form. That it covers all-time relevant
topics like quantum physics, gravitational waves, genetic
engineering, space exploration, and artificial intelligence is an
added delight. Prof. Perkowitz also discusses how science can be
found in medical practice, cooking, soccer, and art, and also
science and science fiction in the media. On the lighter side, he
reports on his efforts to teach a computer to understand poetry,
explains why scientists resist dressing up, and shows that unlike
many people, scientists actually enjoy math.
