I hinted once or twice that I had news coming, and this is it: I’ve signed up to be a blog contributor at Forbes writing about, well, the sorts of things I usually write about. I’m pretty excited about the chance to connect with a new audience; the fact that they’re paying me doesn’t hurt, either…
The above link goes to my contributor page there, which will be your one-stop-shopping source for what I write at Forbes. There are two posts up this morning, a self-introduction, and an attempt to define physics and what makes it unique. The “Follow” button has an option for an RSS feed; this isn’t full-text, but that’s not my decision to make. I can’t do anything about the inspirational-quote splash pages, either, so don’t ask.
What does this mean for Uncertain Principles here at ScienceBlogs? Less than you might think– I’m not moving the whole operation, mostly because Forbes is interested in a specific set of things, and some of what I do is more appropriate for ScienceBlogs. In particular, more math-y physics education sorts of things will stay here (like last week’s angular momentum posts), and a lot of the inside-baseball stuff about academia. I’ll be sort of feeling out what goes where for a while, I’m sure, but you can expect new content in both places.
I have been and continue to be happy with ScienceBlogs and the folks who run it; they’ve done right by me over the years, and I’m happy to continue to support them. This move is a chance to write for a new platform, reaching a different audience than we get here at SB, and I’m excited to have that opportunity. And, of course, many thanks to Alex Knapp for inviting me to write for Forbes.
So, that’s the exciting news in Chateau Steelypips. The other big news is that today is the first day of Spring term classes, so I need to get back to my day job, now…
