weird things, now on twitter
Weird Things, now available on your Twitter feed.

Slowly but surely, Weird Things is turning into an actual blog which means one thing. That’s right, I’m branching out into Twitter where you can get updates on when new posts are published and what they’re all about as well as get an occasional fix of odd news, humorous selections and take a sneak peak at what popular science bloggers talk about between writing articles. Beware though, we’re as nerdy when we’re on Twitter as we are when we’re writing. Just click on the Twitter icon in the buzz section of the sidebar, tune in and enjoy the weirdness.
