We wanted to let you know that Marshall Brain will be leaving Discovery and HowStuffWorks to pursue new ventures and opportunities.

Over the past 13 years, Marshall created HowStuffWorks from scratch and then helped grow it into the company that it has become today – a site with almost 20 million unique visitors a month. As the company’s founder, Marshall has also made hundreds of television, radio and print appearances on behalf of HowStuffWorks. He has appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show, Modern Marvels, CNN and Good Morning America, among others. He has authored four books for HowStuffWorks. Marshall also pioneered HowStuffWorks’ first podcast as well as HowStuffWorks’ first blog, both of which have been extremely popular with fans.

Please join us in thanking Marshall for his contributions to HowStuffWorks and wishing him well in his future endeavors.
