| Introduction | For my job I spend quite some time staring down the ocular of a microscope. After getting an MSc in geology I have worked in science for over 10 years now; I have studied monsoon evolution on timescales of tens of thousands of years. I have studied the changes in the microfauna of the Barents Sea due to global warming. And nowadays I study sea level changes. All using a microscope. My findings have been ending up in peer-reviewed journals, which are notoriously expensive to get access to. I therefore have also been venting my scientific spleen on my personal blog, but I decided I want to have an online platform specifically for my scientific views. I have reversed the ocular; the lens that focusses the beam of light in one direction will let it radiate out in the opposite direction. Does the world need yet another scientific blog? One way to find out. Welcome. |
