The Martian Chronicles

Tags:science, space, Mars
Description:The Martian Chronicles is written by three graduate students at Cornell University who are actively involved in exploring Mars. Like its namesake book by Ray Bradbury, the Martian Chronicles offers a glimpse into the exploration of the Red Planet and what it is like to be a “Martian”. Our posts focus on Mars, but also stray into other science and space news, reflections on graduate school and academia, and anything else that catches our interest. We hope that they will catch yours, too.

Hey folks, could you confirm me as the author of the blog if you haven't yet? And get the word out to others! I think a blog needs 15 readers to show up on the facebook feeds.

Uhh I don't know why, but I can edit your description of the blog. You should probably prevent people from being able to do that somehow.
