Nury Vittachi’s books
Hi Pilgrim,
Tammy and I were excited to sit down with journalist, author, columnist, and science writer Nury Vittachi. For more than 20 years I’ve enjoyed Nury’s editorials, books, and often humorous observations on life.
In the last few years Nury has turned his attention and writings towards science and making science accessible particularly young people. He’s recently released a new series of books highlighting great scientists; both men and women from various cultures and backgrounds who have made the great discoveries that have shaped our world.
On today’s episode Nury shares with Tammy and I that the wall that often separates faith and science is not as tall and solid as we are sometimes led to believe. He frequently hops that wall and he shows us how its done.
Get ready to hop the Science / faith wall with Nury Vittachi!
Buen Camino,
Steve & Tammy
