Why we are happy to do social things, but not when we are paid to do them
Several years ago the AARP asked lawyers to participate in a program where they would offer their services to needy employees for a discounted price of $30/hour. No dice. When the program manager instead asked if they’d offer their services for free, the lawyers overwhelmingly said they would participate.
In collaboration with nano scientists Dr. Zhengwei Pan and his research group at the University of Georgia, I have created a new series of work called “innerspace”. These micrograph images are taken directly from their theoretical lab samples.

The Guinness Book of Records has, however, withdrawn its backing of a sleep deprivation class because of the associated health risks.
