Good morning, internet! This is See Arr Oh, signing on for the first time under my own name. Well, still a pseudonym, but it gives me the freedom to speak my own thoughts and post what I want.
What do people do on "first posts?" (Besides embarass themselves and create fodder to look back on in five years and say "Why on Earth did I write that?") Guess I'll set some ground rules...
1. This blog will reach out to the wider world about science, and especially chemistry.
2. Wherever possible, I will link to / credit / provide a reference for work I've borrowed from other places. To me, intellectual property theft ranks up there with walking into the Louvre, punching the
garde de sécurité, and throwing tomatoes at Mona Lisa.
3. I want to try to develop as a writer and communicator. Please, please prompt me with suggestions, comments, or rebukes in the commentary. Even if it's to correct my grammar or point out a glaring omission.
Well, guess I'll go mull about my first "real" post....thanks for tuning in!
