Summary:
Did you know grasshoppers have ears on their belly, or that scallops have 200 eyes? The world of science is filled with so many weird and wonderful discoveries. We will explore how you can use science as a wellspring for your creativity and generate original, unique ideas to strengthen your own writing. Join me on a journey across galaxies and climb into worm holes, or just have fun finding out why it is impossible to hum while holding your nose. You don’t need to know a thing about science to benefit from the bounty it can bring to your work.
