As one of the initial recruits to Scienceblogs, my years and effort invested into Scienceblogs have been worthwhile. Since I relocated my original blog, Living the Scientific Life, to Scienceblogs in early January 2006, it received more than 6 million visits and nearly 30,000 comments, it helped…

Ask Ethan #13: Where does matter come from?
“If you see an antimatter version of yourself running towards you, think twice before embracing.” -J.

I've seen your kindness and your strength. I've seen the best and the worst of you. And I understand with perfect clarity exactly what you are." -Joss Whedon I bet you love science; practically all of us do, whether we realize it or not.…
