Science talk blog is excited to welcome our two new editors, Amy Nippert and Christina M. Marvin. We’re happy to have them join the team and add their vision to the blog. Look for some changes in pitching guidelines and blog organization, but still feel free to pitch them in the meantime. We’d like to thank Simon Bakke for his great work and dedication to the blog over these past couple years. We’ll be coordinating with everyone who has recently pitched us within the upcoming weeks. Thank you for your patience and we look forward to working with you!
