Pardon us while we wipe our happy tears. The co-founders of InkyCircus, the cute, fun, science blog, which started about a year ago, have made their dream come true and started an online science mag called Inkling Magazine. Anne Casselman and Anna Gosline are named as co-editors, while the third InkyCircus writer, Katie Law, is named as a contributing writer with a day job. (Hmmm, steady paycheck versus start-up indie mag...go figure.) Inkling mag has an impressive array of articles and some prominent contributors, like Suzanne Franks, better known as Zuska from Thus Spake Zuska, the wonderfully bitchy feminista science blog. Current articles cover creative Photoshopping of Martian images, the science behind vampire myths, and radioactive beachcombing. Inkling covers the lighter side of science, which is not to say that it is light on the details. The mag blithely manages to mix up science and fun without dumbing down the science. We'll be keeping our eyes on the progress of Inkling in the months to come. No word yet on what will happen to InkyCircus.
