Just curious: how did this end up on Quanta, instead of the NYT? I'm hoping it was b/c the NYT felt it was too long for your usual column, and that your contract with them gives you the freedom to post elsewhere.

I write sometimes for other outlets. This is my seventh piece for Quanta so far. www.quantamagazine.org/authors/carl...

Also glad the NYT is fine with that. Not that I'd expect them in particular to be bad on this, but in general, employers demanding exclusivity is all too common.

Thanks! Did not know. I will bookmark that link and try to remember to visit it periodically from now on.

Terrific article, thanks so much for sharing!
