I read about this over the weekend - ever heard of this place? Jeez, why haven’t I? Did a search on the Dope and couldn’t find references, but perhaps my search-fu is weak.
Lots of scientists talking about science and other disciplines. One example is their Annual Contest: scientists share their answers to interesting questions. 2012’s is: What is your favorite deep, elegant or beautiful explanation?
