A slim but satisfying read about the nature of the universe from one of America’s leading scientists.The year is 1975. One of the nation’s most famous scientists invites an astronomy-obsessed high-school student from the Bronx to Cornell University, spends the day with him, then offers to put him up for the night if his bus home is delayed. The famous scientist was Carl Sagan. And the teenager? Neil deGrasse Tyson, who later reflected: “I already knew I wanted to become a scientist. But that afternoon, I learned from Carl the kind of person I wanted to become.” Tyson, now director of the Hayden Planetarium at the American Museum of Natural History, has become both a scientist and that kind of person. Through books and media appearances, as well as a robust Twitter presence, he’s well-known as a science communicator and popularizer, as well as a purveyor of both wisdom and common sense.

Mélanie Astles The story of Mélanie Astles has a blockbuster film script written all over it such are the boundaries she has broken and odds she has defied. The five-time French aerobatic champion is the first woman to ever compete in the Red Bull Air Race and is currently in her second year as a Challenger Class pilot. Her determination to become a pilot saw her leave school at 18 to manage several gas stations which helped her save money for flying lessons. The sacrifice was rewarded with a historic second placed finish in Indianapolis last year and clinching a place on the podium at the season opening Abu Dhabi race in 2017. Lindsey Vonn
At 32, American Vonn could have been forgiven for retiring long ago but last month became the oldest female world championships medallist with her bronze medal in the downhill at St Moritz. It also marked a seventh world medal in an already illustrious career, all the more impressive having broken her arm in a training crash in November, which has resulted in nerve damage which meant her right hand was still partially impaired Albert Einstein once said "Creativity is intelligence having fun" surely a lot of artists can share the same idea; there is one artist it came to my mind when I read this quote, allow me to introduce you to A Dandy Punk A Dandy Punk is a digital light poet whose duties include creating digital art performances amongst other creations.
