Moving House

 

For anyone who hasn't yet heard, I'm phasing out this website and emails. If you'd like to keep up with my writing and other nonsense, you can find my newsletter, small magic, here. 

This month's issue includes my secret to perfect hot chocolate and part 2 of my interview with science writer/poet/essayist/author Sabrina Imbler, best known to many for being the genius behind the New York Times headline "When an Eel Climbs a Ramp to Eat Squid from a Clamp, That's a Moray." 

(Absolute. Legend.)
