This is my last post on Culturing Science. I'm leaving the network as Scientific American is taking it in a new direction. Thank you for reading my writing on ecology, conservation and whatever else over the past four years. This blog has been more than a fun endeavor; it changed my life and allowed me to make a career of writing.
I will not vanish in the abyss of the internet, however. I have a new blog called A More Human Nature, which will look at nature through liberal arts lenses: art, literature, culture, history, and technology. It'll be a grabbag of short posts and longer reflections. I hope you will join me there. And stay in touch on Twitter.
