About us
Science Blog was started in August 2002. It lives, breathes and eats press releases from research organizations around the globe. Most of what you read here are press releases from the outfits named in the stories themselves. Got a news story you think belongs here?
Let's talk.
The other half of the equation is
blog posts from readers like you. So if you have an interest in science,
please register and join others like you in an ongoing, vibrant dialog about what makes the world tick. Meantime, please take a minute to read our

hmm, a "few extra pounds"... I travel a lot, and I use a backpack for all my gear (as well as at home in NYC, which is like being in the wilderness). One should never forget the rule of Time = Weight - where the longer you carry a thing on your back, the heavier it gets!
Or maybe I'm just a wimp... :^)
