This blog hasn't been very active the past few months. The biggest reason for this is that my attention and time have moved to a new site: cartoonphysics.net. Like this blog, the new site focusses on science communication. Unlike this blog, the new site involves explaining science (rather than discussing how people discuss science) and also drawing. I'm really excited about it.
Sadly, this means that this blog is, as of today, retired. Cartoon Physics and twitter will meet my need to express myself on the internet. So goodbye, Writing Science, Fiction; it was nice to know you.

Drawing for UBC Carl Sagan Association
A while back I started a feature called my Scientific Notebook, in which I put up sketches I did that explained science. It didn't really fit with the tone of the rest of the blog, but I did want to post them somewhere.
Well, the people over at the UBC Carl Sagan Association, whose mission is to communicate science, have agreed to post some of my sketches on their blog! So future Scientific Notebook entries will likely wind up over there.
The first one is already up. If you read this blog you'll recognize it as covering some of the same ground as this post on genetics, though it approaches the topic differently and has more pictures.
Enjoy!

A new feature
In addition to doing science and writing about science (and writing about how we write about science...) I occasionally indulge in my artistic side. It's not much, mind you, but every so often I sit down with an art notebook and sketch out some science-y stuff. Since I'm writing this blog anyway, I've decided that every so often I'm going to upload those sketches for the world to see.
So far what I've discovered is that it's a lot of work to turn a sketch in a book into something that looks decent on the screen. And I don't mean looks like a professional painting, I just mean good enough that you can read the writing and follow what's going on.
Anyway, this next post is the first entry in My Scientific Notebook. Enjoy!
