Ok. So five articles a weeks is quickly becoming a little overwhelming for my hectic life. I am revising my estimates, and will aim for mere quality over quantity.

This level of writing — quick and glazed over — falls victim to that common complaint of scientists with the media: the roller coaster ride of science perception that “one day it’s this, the next it’s that.”

Or, I suppose you could just eat a pizza and sit on the couch watching sports.

As promised, I’ll be posting five days per week in December. I’ve decided that the theme for week one is “lists” — as astute readers may have already noticed. Suggestions for week two?

A good science fair project asks a strong question, makes an educated guess, follows a careful process, tracks results and observations, and tries to figure out exactly WHY? something happened as it did.

The first time I walked through a hardware store and noticed they sold chalkboard paint, I’ve been looking for any excuse.
