Scientific Blogging
Scientific Blogging, a very cool new place for scientific types, has entered a private beta phase for testing their new interface and has an open invitation for science writers to sign up for an account and create a free blog. The site has 6 different main categories and an unlimited number of sub-categories allowing authors to express themselves in the field of their choice. The site will also feature articles by prominent authors in a number of different scientific fields. There are already a number of great articles there, as well as up-to-date news feeds.
One of the featured authors is math wizard Garth Sundem who appeared on Good Morning America with Diane Sawyer last week. His new book, Geek Logic was the subject of the appearance. You can catch Garth’s articles here.
“There are a lot of science sites out there,” said Hank Campbell, CEO, “but the more we read the more we realized that most science sites were primarily interested in either politics or they were narrowly focused. We contacted some scientists we already knew, and some we had the good fortune to later meet, and they wanted a place to write where they weren’t limited by space considerations but could still reach a general audience. So we decided we had to create the site we wanted to read. I know that most scientists love to talk about their work outside their speciality and they like to have their efforts recognized by the public.”
Unlike other science sites, Scientific Blogging will also allow science writers from all over the world to have their own columns. “There are some terrific scientists writing out there who aren’t reaching a large audience yet - science is all we’re about so the audience is built in.”
So, for all you budding scientists out there, put your geek hat on and check it out!
