I Love the Smell of the Deep Sea in the Morning

Following in the footsteps of Craig, I have a short piece published in the July/August issue of SEED Magazine for their Why I Do Science column. "On the Allure of the Ocean's Novelty" explores why I love doing the science I do. Just a hint, it doesn't have to do with the pay... Now go to your book stores and buy a copy (and skip immediately to page 34)!

Earlier this summer my cover story on the meaning of life (or, at least, "life") came out in the July/August issue of Seed. Now, at long last, the Seedsters have posted the story online. Read it here.

Read the article the other day - nicely done. Actually, my wife pointed it out to me - "Hey did you see the article in Seed by the guy from Deep Sea News?" I assumed it was from Craig I still associate him with DSN first and you with Other 95%.

In any case - congrats! I look forward to reading more from you.

...and I only write for journals that make you pay to publish your own work, and then subject you to grueling (and sometimes insulting) peer review. What's going on here? I must be a masochist.

Accepted with revisions... story of my life. At least it wasn't rejected, which happened to me once. *knocks on wood* That's the last time I send a paper to Science! ;)

Congrats, Kevin! Good to see it in print (sorry I'm late to the party).
