因為這是一個全新的網路,#SciAmBlogs 仍在摸索其身份和在科學部落格社群中的地位。 因此,我的部落格也在發展中,我目前正在努力弄清楚我想要它達到什麼目標,以及它的作用應該是什麼。

我非常感謝《大眾科學》的讀者增加和大量的支援,但我也感謝我的少數老讀者對這裡的評論情況的擔憂。 許多讀者被登入要求所勸退,希望我們即將推出的Twitter/Facebook登入系統能夠讓他們滿意。

我還必須考慮我自己的部落格意願。我喜歡時不時地釋出個人、愚蠢或瑣碎的帖子,考慮到它會被Google新聞收錄,我不會在《大眾科學》這裡這樣做感到舒服。:)


關於支援科學新聞

如果您喜歡這篇文章,請考慮透過以下方式支援我們屢獲殊榮的新聞報道: 訂閱。透過購買訂閱,您正在幫助確保關於當今塑造我們世界的發現和想法的有影響力的故事的未來。


因此,我決定繼續在我的另一個部落格C6-H12-O6上寫部落格。我較短、較輕鬆的帖子會放在那裡(以觸達我的老讀者和社群),而我較有深度的帖子會放在這裡(為更廣泛的受眾並吸引新讀者)。我會將深度帖子在釋出當天交叉連結到C6-H12-O6,並在24小時後完整重新發布。我知道我試圖魚和熊掌兼得,但希望這種情況對每個人都最有利。

如果你對其他的東西不感興趣,只想閱讀直接的科學內容,你應該只關注這個部落格的RSS訂閱,地址在這裡:http://rss.sciam.com/crude-matter/feed

如果你想關注我的個人部落格,並透過交叉連結的帖子偶爾跳轉到這個部落格,你應該關注C6-H12-O6的RSS訂閱,地址在這裡:http://ecophysio.fieldofscience.com/feeds/posts/default

如果你想要一切(推薦),那就都關注吧!如果你透過Facebook/G+/Twitter關注我,你不需要做任何事情;這只是針對那些透過書籤或訂閱閱讀器關注我的人。

對於所有的RSS跳轉,我深表歉意;雖然,我假設如果我的大多數讀者都像我一樣,他們永遠不會從他們的訂閱閱讀器中刪除舊的RSS,因為他們非常懶惰。

"Life creates [the Force], makes it grow. Its energy surrounds us and binds us. Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter," Yoda explains in The Empire Strikes Back, gesturing to Luke's physical body. This quote is striking because of the apt juxtaposition of the wonder of life with its often disgusting vessel. Like many other animals, we secrete, excrete, expectorate, defecate, flatulate, regurgitate, urinate, circulate, masticate, menstruate, ejaculate, and ventilate. We are filled with gas and feces and blood and guts and mucus and any number of rude things. Life as we know it is possible because of the countless impolite things we do every day. Are we luminous beings? Perhaps, but that's neither here nor there. This blog is about the crude matter that keeps us alive.
