We are proud to announce that we now belong to the exclu­sive Sci­en­tific Amer­i­can Part­ner Net­work. Sci­en­tific Amer­i­can Mind spoke highly of our web­site last year, so it was only nat­ural (but made us very pleased) that we were invited to join their new blog­ger network. We remain an inde­pen­dent company, so there will be few obvi­ous changes — mainly some more links between their web­site and ours and new ban­ner ads admin­is­tered by Sci­en­tific American’s great team.
