#SciAmBlogs Monday - #StorySaturday, #EarthDay, #EB2012, measuring snow, brain freeze, and more.

This article was published in Scientific American’s former blog network and reflects the views of the author, not necessarily those of Scientific American


Welcome back. As it is Monday, we have a new Image of the Week - enjoy!

Also, you may have noticed that we are trying to have different writing forms and styles on the Guest Blog on Saturdays, e.g., narrative, dialogue, fiction, science fiction, poetry, comic strips, etc. If you would like to do something like that - but still science-themed - please send me a pitch at Bora@sciam.com.
