DETAILS / POEM TEXT

Mary Oliver reads "Wild Geese"

Neurologist, writer, motorcycle racer, weightlifter, swimmer, and enthusiast of ferns, cycads, cephalopods, and minerals—Oliver Sacks was a modern day Renaissance man. He was endlessly curious about the outer world, and the inner world of the brain, and inspired countless patients, readers, colleagues, and friends. Here we celebrate Sacks with recollections from those who knew him, and hear about his life in his own words, too, in archival Science Friday interviews dating back to 1995.

A Tribute to Oliver Sacks

Earthworm's Scott Poynton talks with  biodynamic winemaker Pierre Fonjallaz about his winemaking practice on the hills beside Lake Leman, Switzerland. Pierre talks about the motivations to change his approach, his new 5000 year timeline for sustainability, and his discovery how - as he started implementing biodynamic processes -  that he began to learn from the land and the plants about other aspects of life.
