With clever visual metaphors and concise factual explanations, she explains neap tides, naked mole rats, whale falls, the human heart, the Uncertainty Principle, string theory, and how glaciers are like Snickers bars. Seeing Science offers just the right amount of information to stoke the curious mind with a desire to know more about the life forces that animate both the smallest cell and the biggest black hole.
