'Best of the Blogs' is a monthly video series that highlights some of the most fascinating stories from the Scientific American blog network. Every month, Carin Bondar chooses a few of the blog posts that were published over the course of the month, has the bloggers record a brief narration, and meshes it all up into a fascinating mix of stories, images and video. I hope you take a look each month.
The second installment, highlighting February blog posts, is now up on the Scientific American YouTube Channel - just click here to see if the video below does not show up on your screen:
