So in addition to Supernova Condensate, I'm now also an author on on the collaborative Space Tweep Society blog. A collection of space enthusiasts from Twitter (from all manner of backgrounds). Because, as the tagline says, sometimes 140 characters just isn't enough.To be honest, it feels a little weird posting to a blog that isn't my own. Plus, this all necessitated finding my way around Wordpress (which is one blogging platform I haven't used before). So I have my first post there now. Please do feel free to stop by and have a read.
And don't worry. I'm certainly not going to be posting here any less. Unless I have to do academic stuff like... you know, write papers and design posters... Stuff.
Despite using a pseudonym myself, I really have no qualms (at least at the time being) about being approached as "Invader Xan" or as my real life self. But some people do. It's wise to respect that.
Supernova Condensate is a blog about our place in the Universe; astronomy, chemistry and life in the great bubble of academia.
Invader Xan is a proto-astrochemist, trying to figure out how to be a scientist. He looks for molecules in space and studies the sciences of all things very big and very small.
He also finds it a bit weird talking about himself in the third person.
