THE WEBSITE
Finding Excitement in Reality
Welcome to NatureTalks — a website whose mission is to present natural and environmental issues to you, the dedicated reader, in an exciting and enjoyable manner. Scientific writing at its best can still be dry, uninteresting, and tough to chew (which are, coincidentally, many of the same adjectives used to describe toast); and at its worst is an unintelligible, convoluted mass of multi-syllabic words and phrases. NatureTalks is my answer to the stale and boring science blog. I believe that science should be shared with the world — especially topics regarding the planet we inhabit. So let me do all the hard work — I’ll read the published papers, I’ll watch the news stories, and I’ll find the truth (or at least give my opinion on it) — all so that you can sit back, enjoy your Hot Pockets and Monster Energy Drink, and read.
THE BLOG
We Cannot Care If We Do Not Know
