Sidney Harris : science and humour

Talking about scientific cartoons, Jean-Marie told me we surely should mention Sidney Harris.
He's a specialist of the scientific cartoon, not only in the field of physics and cosmology , but also in many other fields such as medicine, psychology, ecology, anthropology, biology, technology , paleontology, computer ...




 “No scientific topic is safe from Sidney Harris’s pen. Harris’s insightful cartoons, which grace bulletin boards and laboratory doors everywhere, have become every person’s window into the often baffling and weirdly funny side of science and scientists. Harris’s cartoons have appeared in publications as diverse as The New Yorker, Science, Saturday Review, American Scientist,Playboy, U.S. Medicine, Punch, The Chronicle of Higher Education, National Lampoon and Discover.”
