The Desks of Three Great Minds.
They Ain't Alike.
Three Videos Below
by C.J. Westerberg
So, here I am catching NPR's Ira Flatow's "Science Friday" series while driving an errand in my car, with Flatow having a conversation about the desktops of some uber-science stars, and I'm in heaven (being steeped in the design world for multi-years, plus it's a passion) . . .
The series is called "Desktop Diaries" - with three videos that are such an indulgent insight into three distinct working minds, as expressed by the "method of their madness" (aka. organization) such as Kaku's pack rat version, Greene's streamlined version, and Sacks' idiosyncratic . . .
#1 Video - Michio Kaku - Theoretical physicist and futurist: a pack-rat with a Flash Gordon influence
#2 Video - Brian Greene - Theoretical physicist and mathematician - super-neat while during earlier years he was not . . . . (why does everyone want to "peg" kids early on?)
#3 Video - Oliver Sacks - Writer and neurologist - surrounded by metals
