A New Medium for The Science of Birds

It is often said that to improve is to change, and to perfect is to change often. After a good long run here on blogger, I think it's time for some change. In spite of the beautiful and immersive new design of this blog, I've recently felt compelled to explore new platforms to post essays. Above all others stood an innovative new platform that has almost created its own niche: Medium.

Medium stands out in its extremely minimalist, immersive reading and writing experiences. There are no distractions in Medium essays, only a focus on the beauty of words and associated images. Romanced by this experience, along with its nearly social-media-website build, I made the switch.

Check out these screenshots from scolling down this blog's latest iteration (as a Medium Publication):

Beautiful, isn't it?

So, while some posts may still end up here in the future, I will be posting new essays on Medium from now on. In fact, I already have! After porting some of the best of this blog's content to a Medium publication--named The Science of Birds for consistency's sake--I have already published three new essays. The first is about the rewards of museum work, the second is about a powerful way to predict extinction, and the third is about the secret language spoken by birds' feathers.

I think most of you will find Medium's simple and stunning reading experience as exciting as I have. Even though the reading won't be done here, as always, I invite you to read on, all ye curious.
