On air with Leonard Lopate
With the paperback version of Furry Logic: The Physics of Animal Life due out in the UK next month, it was great yesterday for me and my co-author Liz Kalaugher to talk to New York radio legend Leonard Lopate on his Friday lunchtime show on WNYC.

I wrote a couple of weeks ago about the launch of the book Furry Logic: The Physics of Animal Life at the Institute of Physics in London, where my co-author Liz Kalaugher and I spoke about some of the amazing creatures in our book. I talked about how cats drink using surface tension and how mosquitoes exploit Newton's laws to survive collisions with raindrops, while Liz discussed why loggerhead turtles can navgiate using the Earth's magnetic field and explained just why it is that the giant squid has an eye bigger than any other animal in the world.

Furry Logic in my hands
After a long hiatus writing anything on this blog, i am now planning to get back on track blogging. That's because I've got a real motivation this time, which is to promote a new popular-science book I've written with Liz Kalaugher called "Furry Logic: The Physics of Animal Life".
