Recently I was email interviewed by Siobhan Roberts for an article she was writing about Conway’s famous Game of Life. The article has just been published in the New York Times, and I see I am in good company!
Not only that, but the piece was picked up by Clive Thompson who wrote a post for BoingBoing on the part of the article I was interviewed about: runing the Game of Life on a Penrose tiling.
Here are a couple of the many oscillators my students and I discovered (and named):

period 4 bat |
 |
period 9 moustache |
You can find out more about the work my students and I have done on this here:
