For instance, I didn’t even know about the osmeterium (a smelly organ that black swallowtail butterflies use to defend themselves by wiping on attackers) until I read his book on butterflies and moths. Each of his books is beautiful in it’s own way, and I recommend them very highly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Favorite nerdy video:<\/strong><br \/>\nDoodling in Math: Spirals, Fibonacci, and Being a Plant <\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ahXIMUkSXX0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This is such a great way to show the relevance of math, and it is really fun to watch.
