Hello, all! My name is Stephen. I'm a history major going into librarianship, but I really enjoy science. I've been trying to find a good forum for discussing science, in the interests of learning more and finding people who share a similar joy in learning about the world. I do a lot of nonfiction reading in the area of science, and my favorite author by far is Carl Sagan.
