- Welcome post

Hello all,

Science under the influence is an experiment where Squashed, The Savage and I will try to regularly write about science-related stuff we know or would like to learn more about and in some cases about general topics that we find interesting too.

Although the three of us do very similar research on a daily basis, we come from very different backgrounds and somehow we hope we can present and discuss topics in a way that is accessible to the average non-science person (at least most of the time) but also with each one's personal touch. Of the three of us, two are males and one is a female.

We'll do our best to tell the science without mistakes, but don't say we didn't tell you that you should read at your own risk. =P

A bit of background on how we decided to start SUI:

The Savage and el Charro were talking about how good of an exercise it would be to write about science and also to have the freedom to write about whatever you want and reach an audience. Somehow the idea of having a blog sounded good and here we are. Squashed, who was in the room at the time, decided to join us in this journey.

We hope you enjoy reading our blog and feel free to comment!!!!
