Late last year, Carl Zimmer started a website dedicated to showcasing science-related tattoos. If you think you’ve seen it all, I beg to differ. Anyone with interest in mathematics, engineering, astronomy or science in general should definitely check it out.

On an unrelated note, I was excited to see that he now has a new book that chronicles the importance of E. Coli. Considering I spent many years fighting in the trenches against coliform in various guises, I’ll absolutely need to run out and secure a copy. As a matter of principle (and because Parasite Rex is one of the most frightening books I’ve ever read) I’ll give him a plug now and recommend it sight unseen.
