Natalie Angier, author of the recently released The Canon: A Whirligig Tour of the Beautiful Basics of Science, is one of the most talented and passionate science journalists around.
Here's an interview with Angier from the Boston Globe, in which she discusses the wonder underlying her work – "Don't you want to have a more heightened experience? Isn't that what you're always reaching for?" – and her appearance on NPR's All Things Considered, in which she articulates the dream of every science geek: "There's a lot of sensuality in science, and if people just gave it a chance and really immersed themselves in some of the basic ideas of it, they'd think it was the sexiest thing alive."
