As I've said before, I blog because it's a fun and easy way to share things that I find exciting, it makes my writing better, and it helps keep my ginormous slavering beast of an ego fed in the manner to which it has become accustomed. I don't blog because I want to have a scientific discussion with scientific colleagues about peer reviewed sciencey science. This is a science blog, but it is not a research blog; it's a little bit of outreach and a lot of fun. I hope you enjoy reading.
It says it in the sidebar but I'll say it again: Opinions expressed on Green Gabbro are well-reasoned and insightful. Needless to say, they are not those of the Seed Media Group, the University of California, employers past present or future, or anyone on my thesis committee. Disclaimers expressed on this blog may in fact be those of the Whad'Ya Know? quiz show.
Why "Green Gabbro"?
Once upon a time, I hadn't gotten much sleep before heading off to a physical geology lab, and it struck me that "gabbro" was a very silly-sounding word. Although gabbros are typically dark gray, rather than green, "green" is a much better description of my political perspective than "gray".
