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)!

YES! Send me a free issue of Seed.
If I like what I see, I'll receive 5 more issues (6 in all) for just $14.95. That's 50% off the cover price! If I'm not completely satisfied, I'll simply write "cancel" on the invoice and owe nothing. The free issue is mine to keep.

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.

lol, well I can send you the reviews of my latest paper to be accepted if you want grueling.

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! ;)
