The Gone Incognita podcast features audio versions of Gone Incognita blog posts.
Not long ago, scientific discoveries were celebrated in verse in newspapers and magazines. Charles Darwin’s grandfather Erasmus Darwin even wrote wildly popular educational treatises on botany in heroic couplets.
Dr. Sam Illingworth is bringing the tradition back. Professor of Creative Pedagogies at Edinburgh Napier University, Dr. Illingworth hosts the blog and podcast “Poetry of Science.”
One of Illingworth’s posts tackles an important recent paper on how sea level rise may be affected by the warmth and “elasticity” of the crust beneath the West Antarctic. Hear the poem and further analysis here!
