The Science Geek is now Explaining Science

Posted on by Steve Hurley

When I started my Science Geek blog back in April 2014, I never expected it still to be up and running five years later.  Over these five years its popularity has gradually increased, and I now have around 2,300 followers.

 

However, after five years of blogging I feel now that it is time for a change. So, I have decided to relaunch my blog, give it a new name, and move it across to a new domain. From now on the Science Geek blog  will be called ‘Explaining Science’ and move across to www.explainingscience.org

In Explaining Science, I will write all posts under my real name rather than the pseudonym ‘The Science Geek’.

What will the content of Explaining Science be like?

I intend that the content of Explaining Science will be roughly the same as the Science Geek. It will primarily consist of articles on astronomy, space and space travel – written at a level which is easily accessible to the non-scientist but without being dumbed down. This is often a difficult balance to achieve, but I hope I manage it most of the time.

 

What about The Science Geek?

For the time being I will continue to own the domain www.thesciencegeek.org. This has been set up to automatically map to the new domain http://www.explainingscience.org. So, anyone entering a URL of a Science Geek post e.g.

https://thesciencegeek.org/2018/05/25/the-anthropic-principle/  will be redirected to the equivalent Explaining Science URL e.g.

https://explainingscience.org/2018/05/25/the-anthropic-principle/  to view the post

 

Finally, Iwould like to say a big thank you to all my readers and followers of the Science Geek and hope that you enjoy reading Explaining Science just as much over the forthcoming years.

Hi I am Steve Hurley. I work in the IT industry. I studied for a PhD in astronomy in the 1980s. Outside work my real passion is explaining scientific concepts to a non-scientific audience. My blog (explainingscience.org) covers various scientific topics, but primarily astronomy. It is written in a style that it is easily understandable to the non scientist.

  4. Good luck Steve – it’s a great blog and no doubt, the new, re-launched version will be ace too! Excellent explanations of science and astronomy; I hope schools are taking note….

  5. I think ye be fantastic at “– written at a level which is easily accessible to the non-scientist but without being dumbed down. This is often a difficult balance to achieve, but I hope I manage it most of the time.” Physics and I are not (and never have been) friends. But I love space news. I feel that yer posts come closest to making me feel that I almost understand the concepts. At least in that moment anyway. So hooray for the new domain. Arrrr!
