A year ago today, I started this blog so I would have a place to vent my excitement about happenings in the science world. It's been a fun trip so far--I've learned how relativity affects your body, faced off with climate change deniers, debunked Shape-Ups, and found out why eating dirt might prevent depression. Every day brings fresh science news to my inbox, which means new stories to share and titles to pun. (I really am sorry about the puns. I work in children's publishing; it's hard to turn off.)
