Stories by Tom Levenson

Tom Levenson's day job finds him at MIT, where he is a Professor of Science Writing. He writes books, most recently Newton and the Counterfeiter, about the collision between the greatest thinker of the scientific revolution, crime, and the birth of the modern idea of money. He also makes documentary films, which have appeared on the PBS series NOVA, the BBC series Horizon, and in many other venues. He loves the insight history brings to science writing -- and is very happy that we create new material at a rate of one day's worth per day.
