Welcome!

Welcome to my new spin off blog!

My original intention for the blog Amedeo was to explain science topics to those who don’t have a strong scientific background.  I’m proud to say that blog is booming and readership is growing.  I truly enjoy writing those weekly posts and it makes me so happy to hear “I understand what you’re talking about!”  Science isn’t a mystery – I swear.

However, other readers out there have stronger scientific background and, like me, probably don’t have a tremendous amount of time to read the newest literature.  In between running experiments, dealing with everyday life, or being buried with work, the latest breakthroughs on vaccines or recent models for protein function are simply overlooked.

As a member of AAAS (The American Association for the Advancement of Science), the journal Science is emailed to me each week.  I usually only spend a few moments reading the headlines before moving on to other emails or other interests.  I know I’m not alone in that behavior and I very much want to change it!  This blog will now allow me to practice writing short reviews of interesting science papers as well as give my readers an idea of what is currently being published.  

I will be posting in weekly installments with new posts appearing on Saturdays or Sundays, the same as with Amedeo.  However, I’ll amend how I post based on how things are going.  Stay tuned as I learn to juggle two blogs!  And, as always, check back for new updates, layouts, or pictures as I tend to work on the blogs most days even if a new post hasn’t appeared.  They are constantly being updated!
