Best of February at A Blog Around The Clock

This article was published in Scientific American’s former blog network and reflects the views of the author, not necessarily those of Scientific American


I posted 16 times in February. That is, on A Blog Around The Clock only (not counting the posts on The Network Central, The SA Incubator, Video of the Week, Image of the Week, or editing Guest Blog and Expeditions).

Following #scio12, I wrote a long summary of the event, with personal thoughts included:
