Nodes of Science is a community project that values a diversity of views. We want to encourage people to get out there and write about all of the issues that science touches on. Such topics can range from the environment to psychology to economics to parenting and so on. Scientific issues touch on so many areas of our lives; therefore, the only way to begin understanding such a ubiquitous topic, is to offer a place where many people can share their perspectives. If you would like to share your story, you can use Nodes of Science or one of our Skepti-Forums as your platform. What do you need to do if you’re interested?
