Rosetta Stones Rolls On

We say so long to the Scientific American blogs network. But this isn’t goodbye!

Nothing lasts, eternal.

That's especially true for blog networks, and I've always known there would come a time to say farewell. I'm so pleased we made it nearly a decade - that's pushing a century in digital years! Alas, the Scientific American Blog Network's time is ending come Monday. The archives will live on, and you'll still be able to find plenty of science from your favorite writers elsewhere on Scientific American. Many of us will still be contributing stories.

I want to extend my utmost gratitude to the editors who decided to take a chance on a young geoblogger, and who kept me on for eight marvelous years. I've loved bringing you stories about the good science of rock-breaking, and providing some insight into the major earth science events of the past near-decade. I'm proud of the work we've all done here. Being a part of this network was a privilege and a pleasure.
