内务管理:成长的烦恼!

加入我们的科学爱好者社区!

本文发表于《大众科学》的前博客网络,反映了作者的观点,不一定代表《大众科学》的观点


因为这是一个全新的网络,#SciAmBlogs 仍在摸索其身份和在科学博客社区中的地位。 因此,我的博客也在发展中,我目前正在努力弄清楚我想要它达到什么目标,以及它的作用应该是什么。

我非常感谢《大众科学》的读者增加和大量的支持,但我也感谢我的少数老读者对这里的评论情况的担忧。 许多读者被登录要求所劝退,希望我们即将推出的Twitter/Facebook登录系统能够让他们满意。

我还必须考虑我自己的博客意愿。我喜欢时不时地发布个人、愚蠢或琐碎的帖子,考虑到它会被Google新闻收录,我不会在《大众科学》这里这样做感到舒服。:)

因此,我决定继续在我的另一个博客C6-H12-O6上写博客。我较短、较轻松的帖子会放在那里(以触达我的老读者和社区),而我较有深度的帖子会放在这里(为更广泛的受众并吸引新读者)。我会将深度帖子在发布当天交叉链接到C6-H12-O6,并在24小时后完整重新发布。我知道我试图鱼和熊掌兼得,但希望这种情况对每个人都最有利。

如果你对其他的东西不感兴趣,只想阅读直接的科学内容,你应该只关注这个博客的RSS订阅,地址在这里:http://rss.sciam.com/crude-matter/feed

如果你想关注我的个人博客,并通过交叉链接的帖子偶尔跳转到这个博客,你应该关注C6-H12-O6的RSS订阅,地址在这里:http://ecophysio.fieldofscience.com/feeds/posts/default

如果你想要一切(推荐),那就都关注吧!如果你通过Facebook/G+/Twitter关注我,你不需要做任何事情;这只是针对那些通过书签或订阅阅读器关注我的人。

对于所有的RSS跳转,我深表歉意;虽然,我假设如果我的大多数读者都像我一样,他们永远不会从他们的订阅阅读器中删除旧的RSS,因为他们非常懒惰。

"Life creates [the Force], makes it grow. Its energy surrounds us and binds us. Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter," Yoda explains in The Empire Strikes Back, gesturing to Luke's physical body. This quote is striking because of the apt juxtaposition of the wonder of life with its often disgusting vessel. Like many other animals, we secrete, excrete, expectorate, defecate, flatulate, regurgitate, urinate, circulate, masticate, menstruate, ejaculate, and ventilate. We are filled with gas and feces and blood and guts and mucus and any number of rude things. Life as we know it is possible because of the countless impolite things we do every day. Are we luminous beings? Perhaps, but that's neither here nor there. This blog is about the crude matter that keeps us alive.
