In the months I’ve been the Saturday editor, I’ve noticed that a large number of my links and other posts come from science and technology sources: popular magazines, not hardcore stuff. But I rarely have much more to add to these pieces than “ooh, that’s cool” or “look at this picture.” So I’ve decided to start a Science Saturday linkfest, and it should be a recurring event.

If you’ve gone hiking and think you’ve been walking in circles, you probably have been.
And Microkhan suggests that ski-jumping might be one sport in which women could have an advantage over men, eventually.
If you see stories that you think I’d like for this feature, send me a link via Twitter @briankspears
