Given the recent discussion of climate change and the connection with
complexity, I thought you all might enjoy this article I recently
wrote:

More generally, I'd like to plug MathTrek, my weekly math column for
Science News. You can check out all the articles at http://
blog.sciencenews.org/mathtrek/. I'd be very interested in anyone's
thoughts on the column. Also, feel free to send story ideas my way.
My interpretation of "math" in this context is very broad: pretty
much any kind of quantitative or logical analysis of most anything.
I've been having a ball writing the column -- hopefully some of the
pleasure I've taken in writing them is reflected in the articles
themselves.
