Forrest M. Mims III is our guest in this episode. You may recall the series of mini-notebooks he hand-lettered for Radio Shack that were published in the 1980s and 1990s. The series introduced many people to building electronic circuits, and Radio Shack sold more than 7 million of them. Mims wrote other books for Radio Shack and on electronics. His career as a scientist spans a range of technologies, which he discusses in his recent memoir, "Maverick Scientist."
