My friend and colleague Starre Vartan recently invited me to join her on the launch of a new science blog site, The Curious Human. We are teaming up to cover scientific stories that interest us and I hope to be able to cover things that extend beyond just my academic research. Please check out my first post which is starts with a story about gold panning in the soon-to-be displaced communities I visited during my research on the Nile and Mekong Rivers. I will cross-post here when the articles have anything to do with water resources.
