Science in Sci-fi (#ScienceInSF) Articles
Science fiction often has roots in hard sciences: physics, astronomy, genetic engineering, and microbiology, among others. Most sci-fi authors (both aspiring and established) are not scientists, but they handle the science and technology quite well. That said, cutting-edge science and technology are often misunderstood.
The goal of this blog series is to tackle these concepts head-on, with help from experts in the field. For more information, see the Science in Sci-fi page.
