Interests
General
science, culture, and everything in between. Note that my definition of culture excludes food, fashion, and football.Music
Shakira, obviously. Plus some other female-fronted acts from around the world, including Rihanna, Silbermond, LODVG, P!nk, Bat for Lashes, Alanis, KT Tunstall, Within Temptation, A fine frenzy, Pixie Lott ...Movies
off-hollywood only, e.g. films by Julio Medem, Pedro Almodovar, Fatih Akin, Caroline Link; anything with Juliette Binoche, Isabel Adjani, Sophie Marceau, Audrey Tautou, Penelope Cruz ...Television
should be banned. In the last 100 years, average weekly working hours were reduced from something like 70 hours to 35 hours. And what do people do with the 35h extra free time that they have every week ? you guessed it.Books
Apart from the science books I get to review, I enjoy reading latin american novels by authors like Isabel Allende, Gabo, Gioconda Belli, Antonio Skarmeta, Laura Esquivel,Heroes

About me:
I'm a science writer, hence interested in almost anything in the Universe as long as it can be investigated in an intelligent way. To get an impression of that, browse my most recent book, The birds, the bees, and the platypuses: www.geocities.com/michaelgrr/platypus.html
Michael Gross has been writing about science full time for the last eight years and as a night time hobby for the previous seven. From his treasure troves, he now presents his favourite science stories from these 15 years. What are the attractions that make him revisit a topic or reread an article again and again? Often, it’s the sheer craziness of wildly unexpected findings or grotesquely oversized challenges. In other stories, there is a sexy element or a an unexpected insight into the human condition. And sometimes, when reporting new and future technologies, the author just can’t help thinking: “cooooooool!” So here are more than 60 crazy, sexy and cool science stories for you to enjoy.
The German edition "Der Kuss des Schnabeltiers" has been published in September:

Who I'd like to meet:
Bright people who are still able to grow; people who produce and/or appreciate art, literature, music, and/or science.
Pues, gente con quienes podré hablar español!..
