Awesci stands for, or was meant to stand for – Awesome Science

Well, now I feel like it is sort of a dumb way to write Awesome Science in a “shorter, easier to remember way.” But it is what it is. I don’t care too much about the name.

A formal description

of this blog, or as they say, “content website,” covering its “value proposition, customer segment / target audience and the problem it is solving, in less than 140 characters” goes as follows:

Awesci is a compendium of awe eliciting and entertaining articles mixed with Science-101s for curious minds to waste time sensibly.

Yes, that is what the social media and SEO gurus say it should be. As if it was ever a problem for people to not be able to waste time sensibly.

More about the blog later…

All articles, at least till date this was published, are written by me.


Hi, I am Anupum Pant.

That’s me helping Ed get his tuning right.

The creator and writer at this content website. Most things related to this website have been managed by me.

I’m a serious person, who talks less, enjoys studying subjects deeply and loves three things passionately – Science, food and Graphic Designing. I’m also a huge fan of minimalism in graphics as well as in life (if it wasn’t clear from the looks of this website). Also, I get inspired by human achievement and appreciate fine work that takes years to accomplish.

I have no idea what keyword research or SEO is.

I write what I feel like writing about. To be honest, the process is more like – I decide on a topic, research about it for an hour, deem it “not so interesting,” move on to another and repeat. A time usually comes when I finally land on something and really go into that flow of researching, taking notes and writing. I don’t like being disturbed when I’m there. That’s what ends up being a post.

I started Awesci during the month of october 2013,

I first made it a rule for me to write an article everyday. I did that very diligently for some time, for like 1.45 years. And then it started to feel like a chore. This was the time when I used to quickly get done with some content. As a result, the quality of my articles became bad. I clearly needed a break and rethink Awesci.

And after exactly 2 years of posting something every day, I stopped.

Now I plan to write when I feel like it, but still I hope to write at least two articles a week. But then the thoughts like, articles are not consumed at the rate I write, also trouble me occasionally. I feel one comprehensively researched article a month is better than poorly written articles everyday.

The old about page

AweSci.com is an attempt to make a pop-science magazine where the articles published, aren’t restricted to a narrow domain of science. Rather, they belong to a range of appealing topics which cover fascinating aspects of engineering, earth science, space, medicine, computing etc. Normally I cover topics that aren’t very popular, yet are interesting. In short, they’re designed to appeal to any person who is curious enough.

You can follow the Facebook page from the right sidebar or subscribe from here.

If you’d like to know more about me, suggest something, send an article or just talk, you can check out the FAQ page or get in touch through Twitter. I love to hear from people and will reply to every message (as long as I’m not too famous).

Troll please keep your messages / comments to yourselves. Your messages or comments will not be responded to. They will be sent to trash. Constructive criticism will be appreciated.

Cheers
