"When we remember we are all mad, the mysteries disappear and life stands explained." - Mark Twain

There's a lot of science out there. I'm Joe, let me be your guide to the creative side of discovery, big science news, wondrous science visuals, analysis-izations and all the otherwise cool science-y things out there, with all the woo and BS filtered out.
