The blog network at Scientific American is vast. It’s one of the largest, most comprehensive sources of science information on the web, and our bloggers are adding posts on a daily basis. SciAm Cinema is a brand new monthly video series that will examine some of the most fascinating stories on the blog network each month. I’ve been wanting to do a series like this for quite some time, as I am always moved by the excellent stories I read by many of my co-bloggers. So I was thrilled to hear that the powers on top thought it was a great idea as well!

So I present to you episode 1 of Sciam Cinema – with highlights from many of our blogs including Christie Wilcox, Alex Wild, Christina Agapakis, Maria Konnikova, John Matson and Caleb Scharf.
