HOME TWITTER PORTFOLIO WORK

(T-Shirt available here)

David Ng is a science literacy academic and Faculty member at the University of British Columbia. He writes here and there, including humour for McSweeney's, essays for the Walrus, and blog posts for Boingboing.net. He has a molecular genetics lab full of curios and is interested in various areas of science education, communication, and outreach - particularly those where the notions of science and art intersect.

He is also responsible for the following web artifacts: Phylomon Project Science Scouts Science Creative Quarterly The Candy Hierarchy

Popperfont is envisioned to be a place to share interesting, pretty things; to collect the odd thought: all categorized for use as transition pieces in talks, discussions, lectures, etc (i.e. they're striking, they're funny, they make good anecdotes). Also, this site doubles as an excuse to practice some good old science writing. It will be occasionally serious, but mostly it's all about this.

Weekend posts = song candidates for mixtapes (listen)

“Sciencegeek Fundamentals”

Hopefully, a growing collection of (unconventional) essays on things you need to know to call yourself a sciencegeek (or something like that).
01 A TANGENTIAL SCIENTIFIC METHOD (in five parts) – pdf

“Lizzie Popperfont and the Collider Whale Tale”

An ongoing children’s novel that covertly centers around the “Scientific Method”: Also includes that ever popular plot device – secret synchrotrons disguised as massive whales. Not finished, but you can read what I’ve done so far here.

Assorted Clips

I publish a little bit here and there. Mostly stuff that fits in the category of science humour. Writing posts can be seen under a writing category. My portfolio site proper is here.
