Greetings my future readers. This first post is just a “hello” and “welcome” to my blog. Here I will discuss interesting science news, science politics, and educational information about topics I find interesting. My hope is to get conversations going out there in the world about science and nature. The Cosmos is a beautiful place. We should all enjoy it, and strive to be a part of it, down here on Earth, and out there in all of the wondrous places that we will surely someday inhabit.
My plan is to post on a weekly basis, perhaps more often if the mood strikes. I will likely also post interesting links to other science related websites as I see necessary in order to educate and delight. Feel free to post comments along the way, and I will try to respond to them.
