An apology
Hi all, recently there have been a lot of complaints about the pop-ups that appear on the Live Science site before you get to the story. I want to let you all know that I apologize for this, I've forwarded the concerns onto Live Science and (hopefully) the pop-ups will dissapear soon. In the meantime I'm only going to link to the syndicated version of my stories.
Thank you all, I appreciate you taking the time to read my work!
Owen
UPDATE- It looks like the pop-ups are gone :)
