Big ideas, illustrated

io9 has an interview up with Jim Ottaviani, an author (and former nuclear engineer) who has written about several well-known scientists: Jane Goodall, Niels Bohr, and Richard Feynman. Ottaviani has been working on an illustrated biography of Stephen Hawking with artist Leland Myrick, and the io9 interview includes a excerpt from the as-yet-untitled work, due out next year.
