Last week I started a list of 5 scientists that I think MORE people should follow. Why? Because I keep seeing lists of scientists or science communicators that people DO follow. The most popular lists. And the thing is…well if you follows science people on Twitter, you probably already follow most of the people on […]
The other week the internet was abuzz with the Science Twitter List, The Top 50 Science Stars of Twitter. The post raised some hackles due to its low inclusion of women and minorities, as well as some of the criteria as to who is considered a “scientist” and what it means to be a star […]
My grandfather got me my first subscription to National Geographic. I’m not sure exactly when, but I think I may have been 10 or 11, around 1992 or 1993. I do have complete sets from those years, but I have some from 1991 as well. Heck, I have a 1989. Grandpa wasn’t a gift-giving man. […]
This is a rant. It’s a rant because, sometimes, you’ve heard something just one too many times. And sometimes, things link together in my head. I had a conversation with a friend the other day. He was shaking his head over a girl he was seeing. She called herself a fantasy fan…but she had never […]
It’s now been a week since ScienceOnline Together 2014 (and I don’t know about you guys, but I’m still down with the hideous #scioplague. I’m really ready to be done with feeling like I am swallowing a sword all the time). It was, despite some difficulties that I hope we all move forward together to […]
In case you all missed it, for the past three months now, I have been a full time writer and blogger at Science News, where I run the science education blog Eureka! Lab, and of course, Scicurious. It is, without a doubt, a fantastic life. I’m learning so much as a writer, and I hope […]
As I mentioned a few weeks ago, I am excited to say that I have started a new, FULL TIME job as the Science Education Writer at Science News for Students! You can check out all my science education stuff over at Eureka!Lab! And don’t worry, Scicurious will continue! I’ve got my new digs up […]
Over the past few weeks, some very new and exciting developments have happened here in Sci-land! I’m very happy to say that I’ll soon (in about two weeks) be taking up residence as a full time blogger at Student Science, a part of Science News! I’ll be blogging about the latest and greatest things in […]
Hi guys, Sci here. I’m afraid that things are more stressed than usual at around these parts. In fact, I may really, finally, have bitten off more than I can chew. So, things are going to be slow around here for a while. I’ll have posts up on Mondays at SciAm as usual. Fridays will […]
I figure it’s about time I finished up the tale of Mr. S and I heading to the “wilds” of the United Kingdom to hike Hadrian’s Wall. It’s funny the relationships you strike up on the wall. A bunch of us, couples, groups of friends, families, are all hiking the same distance per day, often […]
