Welcome to Galileo's Lens

Science does not live in a school textbook. Science is an ongoing pursuit, with new and fascinating discoveries being made around the world on a daily basis. Too often, these otherwise interesting news items are lost in a sea of political and entertainment reporting, or simply a media ill-equipped or uninterested in covering these topics.

The purpose of this blog is to feature modern news stories dealing with the full range of scientific topics, from archaeology to zoology, along with limited explanatory text from a professional science writer. This is not an original news source but merely a media conduit and outlet for commentary, and full credit belongs to the originating sources of this material.

I am a full-time science and education writer and technical editor, and I welcome any and all feedback. If there is a science story that I have missed or if you have questions about a topic shown here, feel free to send me an e-mail.
