History of Ideas Blog Twitter Hits for February, 2016

JF Ptak Science Books  

This is the month in review for this blog's twitter feed, featuring tweets for pieces that I have written for this blog and that have brought in at least a few thousand engagements. (Most of the tweets from here--on average there are 150 so a month--do not reach a thousand. Sometimes the attraction and reach makes sense; sometimes not.  I have no idea what it is that attracts people to a story. That said, here are some of the most popular tweets:
