From the coffee maker to the car to the elevator to the ergonomic chair in your office it was all designed somewhere, sometime by an engineer. Tomorrow I continue my science week with a tribute to the men and women who spend their days trying to make mine easier.

Stay tuned as I salute the engineer, be they mechanical, electrical, aerodynamic, hydraulic, or any other. Without them and their little friends the mathematician we would live in a very different world. You’ll learn about a fellow named Archimedes and another named Allesandro Volta. It can’t be anything other than one crazy, wild ride.

See you tomorrow!
