This article was published in Scientific American’s former blog network and reflects the views of the author, not necessarily those of Scientific American
Those of you who checked in on the very first day Scientific American Blog Network launched, back in July 2011, may remember the blog called The Psychotronic Girl that launched on that day. But life interfered, and Melody Dye could not continue blogging for a year. With a new position, and a new geography, she now again has the time to write. Make sure to bookmark and subscribe to the new incarnation - Cargo Cult Contrarian. Go say Hello in the comments and welcome Melody back into the fold.
