Program Announcement: I'm Moving
September 1, 2011
I've dropped some hints in the past that my relationship with ScienceBlogs would be...altered. Well, I've decided to leave. Mostly, it had to do with the issue of pseudonymity, although I'm very excited to hang out my own shingle once again. I don't want to rehash the issue of pseudonymity,…
Note to Unions: This Is Not How You Build a Coalition

"The chess-board is the world, the pieces are the phenomena of the universe, the rules of the game are what we call the laws of Nature. The player on the other side is hidden from us." -T. H. Huxley There's an amazing interactive application on the Scale of the Universe that was just pointed out to me (thanks, Brian L.), and I had to share!

T.rex, Space, lively colors, mugs, and future scientists - the PLoS Store Spring Collection

With the spring coming, we decided to make the range of items available in the PLoS store much more diverse. You can now find tiny Future PLoS Author shirts for kids. And elegantly done embroidered tees,…
