I’ve always been fascinated by fluid dynamics. A New Scientist article about how tap water hitting a sink could be used to model white holes inspired me to compile some pictures of other everyday fluid flow patterns.
About Catherine Meyers
My parents often told me I was born with an old soul. I think they perceived, in their young daughter, the emotional stability and perspective of a more mature mind. But as I actually aged, I entered my early twenties consumed by a Peter Pan–like fear of growing up. This youthful anxiety arose from a severe case of career uncertainty.
I first tried out engineering, but I found the idea of sending spaceships to Mars more engaging than hours of debugging computer code. Indulging my wanderlust, I travelled to Ukraine to teach English in the Peace Corps. There, I missed science and technology. Science writing is the career incarnation that for the first time feels right. As I embark on this new path, my 'old soul' composure has returned.
