Nathan Englander remembers Nora Ephron’s baking advice, and what she taught him about being a working artist: http://bit.ly/MOF7Ox
…that to me is a good way to sum up what being a working artist is all about. It’s about being a person who makes real things in a real world. You set out to do something, and to do it right. And if it doesn’t come out exactly as planned— you don’t just live with it, you find a way to make it even better than it would have been before.

Pictured is the Super-Kamiokande, a giant neutrino detector, buried 1000m underground in Japan. Usually filled with 50,000 tonnes of pure water, the observatory detects neutrinos by watching for interactions with the subatomic particles in the water. These interactions are extremely rare, which is why the detector needed to be built to the scale it is.
