Calling all science geeks: this one's for you

We've been quietly blogging for a few weeks, but now it's time for us to go fully live

BIO

Christy Choi is a news reporter for the South China Morning Post covering science and technology. Before the SCMP, she worked for the Phnom Penh Post and Time, writing about sharks helping tame lionfish invasions, mealybug infestations, human trafficking and the 2011 Japanese earthquake and tsunami, among others. As a former contemporary arts curator, she has a soft spot for the arts, and while science is her beat at the Post, she won’t say no to a good yarn about pretty much anything under the sun.

""You are here." I F** Love Science and Carl Sagan give us a little perspective for Monday morning." - I personally found this to be one of the best things I have read to date in the SCMP!
