Feynman:
An Excerpt from a New Comic Biography

Read an excerpt from the new graphic-novel-style biography of Richard Feynman in an American Scientist slide show

Pizza Lunch Podcasts

About once a month at Sigma Xi headquarters, we liven up the lunch hour with an American Scientist Pizza Lunch talk. In these informal lectures, scientists describe new research to nonscientists. The series is light on jargon but heavy on solid science. Each Pizza Lunch offers an in-depth look at its subject, whether it's bedbugs or the smart grid.
