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.
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.
