Hello Experimenters,
It’s the end of the semester, and I am spread thin. Next week, you should get this message from a guest contributor through our regular channels. Are you interested in being a guest contributor? I have a style guide now complete with some examples of past guests.
I’d love to have more people step in from time to time.
