The awesome ladies over at Inky Circus finally launched their online science magazine Inkling last month. So far it looks like a fun, quirky magazine, a bit like Seed crossed with the sense of humor of mental_floss. While Inkling is largely intended to appeal to women, anyone with a sense of humor and a fondness for fun and weird science stories will probably like it.

I especially like Puppetry of the Face, by Tania Rabesandratana. Artnatomy is a fascinating application (available free online or 30 euros for the offline version) originally designed for art students to learn about the muscles behind facial expression. Since then it’s found other uses by neurologists, medical students, and plastic surgeons. I foresee hours of my time being sucked up by this in the future (and hey, when you’re strapped for an art student gift…).

So go read Inkling and make it a success! It’s the only science magazine with Science as a contributor (heh).
