It's the Scientific American blog network's first birthday today! Taking a leaf out of Ed Yong's book, or rather blog, to celebrate our birthday, we've decided to give the floor over to you, dear readers. So write a comment below and let me know who you are, how you found this blog and what you like (or hate!) about science.

Did you just stumble on this blog for this first time? Are you a scientist, someone with no formal science background, or somewhere in between? What topics would you like to see me cover here?

Lurkers, de-lurk – if you've not commented before I'd especially like to hear from you. You'll need to register to comment but it's super easy and we won't even ask for your real name (unless you want to give it).

Kelly Oakes has a master's degree in science communication and a degree in physics, both from Imperial College London. She started this blog so she could share some amazing stories about space, astrophysics, particle physics and more with other people, and partly so she could explore those stories herself.
