Snapshot of the top of the new "Movember, Men's Health" posting category, with the category itself ringed in magenta.

One of the most enduringly popular postings – or rather, series of postings – on Total Internal Reflection is “Great scientists, great moustaches“. Posted every November, and combining appreciation of both scientific achievements and male grooming, this has now reached its 9th iteration and some of the individual articles continue to attract large traffic volumes every year.

To make them easier to find, I’ve now collected them all together in a new “Movember, men’s health” category (ringed in magenta on the right of the image). This will also serve as a home for any other postings that relate directly to men’s health.

Don’t forget, if you know of any great scientists with great moustaches, feel free to nominate them for the series! You can go to the category directly by clicking HERE.
