I am super-excited to welcome to the network our newest blogger, Becky Crew (Twitter, Tumblr). Actually, to reveal a secret, Becky was supposed to be in the original line-up on the day we launched the network, but work and life interfered at the time. Now, with the new job and the book manuscript (title: 'Zombie Tits & Astronaut Fish') turned in, Bec again has time and renewed energy for blogging, so here she is, under the Scientific American banner.
Based in Sydney, Australia, Becky worked for a while as online editor at Cosmos and wrote the award-winning blog Save Your Breath For Running Ponies. The blog, with somewhat shortened title, will now continue starting today.
So, check out, bookmark and subscribe today to Running Ponies and go say Hello to Becky in the comments of her first post.
It’s Time to Stand Up for Science
If you enjoyed this article, I’d like to ask for your support. Scientific American has served as an advocate for science and industry for 180 years, and right now may be the most critical moment in that two-century history.
I’ve been a Scientific American subscriber since I was 12 years old, and it helped shape the way I look at the world. SciAm always educates and delights me, and inspires a sense of awe for our vast, beautiful universe. I hope it does that for you, too.
If you subscribe to Scientific American, you help ensure that our coverage is centered on meaningful research and discovery; that we have the resources to report on the decisions that threaten labs across the U.S.; and that we support both budding and working scientists at a time when the value of science itself too often goes unrecognized.
In return, you get essential news, captivating podcasts, brilliant infographics, can't-miss newsletters, must-watch videos, challenging games, and the science world's best writing and reporting. You can even gift someone a subscription.
There has never been a more important time for us to stand up and show why science matters. I hope you’ll support us in that mission.
