SciAm Blogs Blows Out a Candle, Has Cake, and Invites You to the Party

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


The Scientific American Blog Network turns 1 today!

Scicurious wrote a poem for the occasion.

Hard to believe we're so young, innit? We've got a long-established magazine behind us, and so many veteran science bloggers, that it feels longer, at least to me. And I can see this network celebrating many happy returns.

1. Who are you? Have you got a background in science, do you enjoy it as a layperson, or did you have utterly no interest before stumbling in here?

2. How did you find Rosetta Stones? And do you just hang out here, or partake of the sciencey goodness on the rest of the network?
