Hello. I'm Sidney, a physicist at Emory University who also writes about science for non-scientists. I grew up admiring writers as well as scientists, and I'm lucky that now I get to be both. Lab research is a thrill, but it's even more fun to write about science in ways that engage those people (and there are lots of you) who love to play with scientific ideas. Those can range from the origins of life and of the universe, to nanotechnology and quantum behavior.

As you look through this site, you'll see that all these topics and more show up in my books, articles, and essays. Whatever part of science intrigues you, you'll probably find something here that you'll enjoy reading. And if you like science fiction films, or stage plays about science, that's here too, in the plays I've written and the screenplay I'm working on now.

If you find something you'd like to know more about, or just want to say hello, my contact information is posted.
