Curious about how astronaut toilets work? Considering the practical applications of complexity theory? Charles Soule plowed through piles of books and consulted with NASA to find out the details. You'll find fictional representations of those and more in his mathematical graphic novel, Strange Attractors, and his upcoming comic series, Letter 44. We caught up with Charles at Bergen St. Comics in Brooklyn to talk about the science in his books and the World Science Festival "When Science Gets Graphic program at the 2013 New York Comic Con. The World Science Festival gathers great minds in science and the arts to produce live and digital content that allows a broad general audience to engage with scientific discoveries. Our mission is to cultivate a general public informed by science, inspired by its wonder, convinced of its value, and prepared to engage with its implications for the future.
