Scientist at Work Blog: Setting New Coordinates

Three years ago, Christopher J. Raxworthy, an associate curator of vertebrate biology at the American Museum of Natural History in New York, ventured to Madagascar in its rainy season to pursue his interest in chameleons. His account of that field expedition was the start of the Scientist at Work blog, and the first of many tales from the field told in words, photos and video by an array of adventurous and determined scientists.

The Times will continue to work with scientists to tell the stories of their research from near and distant locations ? but the experiences will no longer be captured in this format. Going forward, you can follow the work of scientists at nytimes.com/science, and you can continue to enjoy the videos and in-depth interviews in our Profiles in Science series.

We?ve also begun a new feature, Optics, and a weekly column, Matter, by the science writer Carl Zimmer, as part of a continuing push to deepen and broaden our Web science report.

To the scientists who have contributed posts from places as diverse as Antarctica and Hawaii, Belize and Mongolia, Alaska and Papua New Guinea ? and who have shared their research into insects, birds, whales, dolphins, fossils, waves and droughts, among many other compelling subjects, we say: Thank you. And to the readers of their accounts we say: Stay tuned. We appreciate your interest and will continue to find new ways to highlight great scientific tales.
