Before humans existed in California, thousands of immense earthquakes occurred along this fault system, but of course, they did no harm. It is only the confluence of society and earthquakes that causes trouble, and only if we do not build things tough enough to take what the San Andreas can dish out.

Please post here... more space to present opinions, share experience. And then tweet the links to your blog.
Thank you, that is nice to hear your support! My friend Henry also has encouraged me to re-activate the blog.
I just looked at your blog posts and they are really great! Please pass along my regards to Oona; I haven't seen her in a long time!
Go for it if you have the time. You are involved in a lot of important work and have valuable experience and perspective. As Stéphane says, it might be a good place to develop ideas and collect information that is somewhere between a tweet and a paper or something more official. Please do share.
Thank you, Ramon. Yes, there is a complex rule set for internal review. It boils down to this; in any 'unofficial expression' there cannot be any 'new science.' So I'm trying to find that balance and share thoughts on a more conceptual level. Challenging, but sometimes do-able, on Twitter.
I see; yes that makes it pretty tricky and maybe not worth the complication. At least yes with twitter you can point to interesting things and I guess that has been a good compromise.
Yes, and each tweet is sort of like a post-it note or sound bite, so it may seem clearly unofficial or inherently less threatening somehow. Sometimes less is more, though.
Majority of voters on twitter poll agreed that I should keep adding blog posts. I'll try to re-start this lame excuse for a defunct blog someday soon, if/when inspiration strikes again. Thanks for the boost, and to all who voted for exercising your democratic process. I will (eventually) honor the results of this poll. P.S. - I voted by mail yesterday for the 'real' election, and I really, really hope that several of my preferred candidates win this time! #science #scicomm
