A Möbius strip once went
On a trip to unknown places
But it made a wrong turn
Just to learn
That it ended back where it started
The Fibonacci series
He starts with a couple of young rabbits
Which mate every month (that’s their habit!)
Two, three, five, eight, thirteen
An ongoing machine
Fibonacci exclaims: “Now I have it!”
It’s time to stand up for science
If you liked this article, I would like to ask for your support. Scientific American has served as an advocate for science and industry for 180 years, and right now may be the most critical moment in its two-century history.
I have been one Scientific American subscriber since I was 12 years old, and it helped shape the way I see the world. SciAm always educates and delights me, and inspires a sense of awe for our vast, beautiful universe. I hope it does for you too.
If you subscribe to Scientific Americanyou help ensure our coverage is centered on meaningful research and discovery; that we have the resources to report on the decisions that threaten laboratories across the United States; and that we support both budding and working scientists at a time when the value of science itself is too often not recognised.
In return, you receive important news, captivating podcasts, brilliant infographics, can’t-miss newsletters, must-see videos, challenging games, and the world of science’s best writing and reporting. You can even give someone a subscription.
There has never been a more important time for us to stand up and show why science is important. I hope you will support us in that mission.
