I am thrilled to announce two big developments for Scientific American MIND today. We are launching a new home page, mind.scientificamerican.com, so that fans of the magazine can find our print and online articles, as we
ll as multimedia, in one convenient location. Starting today, you'll start to see several new contributors in the mix, which leads me to announcement #2. A new MIND blog network is also going live this morning. It features 6 new blogs, including a MIND guest blog.
