A different kind of preservation

A different kind of preservation

If you read the plaque below, it says that this tree was grafted from the apple tree that is said to have been the same tree that Sir Issac Newton saw an apple fall and developed his theory of gravity. This tree is at the entrance to the Cambridge University Botanical Garden. I had a lovely day there with my wife and Kimberly Chapman and her daughters. Maybe Peo (Kim’s older daughter) will write a blog about this tree as well. I’ll add a link here if she does.

Brian Koberlein wrote a great post about Newton’s Principia here (so I don’t have to):

So enjoy my lazy #ScienceSunday  post while I sort through PET scanner specifications. What? You say you don’t know what PET is? Well here you go.

I keep promising that part 6: SPECT is coming. I will try to get that out soon. Stay tuned.
