I won't lie, things haven't been going as planned. I was hoping to just potter along in obscurity, ranting to noone in particular on my own little blog. But suddenly I'm being invited to party conferences, giving talks in London, writing for proper news papers and meeting literary agents. Big projects are on the horizon, including a book.

Meanwhile, The Lay Scientist has grown onto it's own server, which has just served it's one millionth article. A couple of thousand people are knocking on my door every day; they want more content, and I have less time. The solution is you. I'm opening the site up to guest bloggers, who can follow in the steps of DeeTee and others.

Places are limited for now, so I'll judge the people who get in touch by some criteria - existing writing, how they come across, what they want to write about, that sort of thing. People can cross-post stuff from their own blogs if they like, to help use this site to promote their own writing. They can post as regularly or irregularly as they like, on whatever science or junk science subjects they like, as long as it's interesting, decent quality, and isn't going to get me in lots of trouble!
