Science Corner: Dawn – A Proton’s Tale of All that Came to Be

October 12, 2022 by Andy Walsh Leave a Comment

Stop me if you've heard this one: a biophysicist, a writer, a theologian walk into a bar. OK, so that's not actually how Dawn was written, but the diverse backgrounds of the three co-writers--Cees Dekker, Corien Oranje, and Gijsbert van den Brink respectively--do sound more like résumés for the cast of a niche joke than for collaborators on a novel.
