Sciblogs brings together the best science bloggers in the country on one website, creating a hub for scientific analysis and discussion and facilitating reader interaction.
The website is for scientists who want to reach out to a general audience to explain their science and how it relates to society. Some Sciblogs contributors spend most of their time in the lab or buried in research. Others are authors or entrepreneurs. All of them know what they are talking about and have an interest in engaging in discussion on the big science-related issues facing society.
You can easily keep an eye on new Sciblogs posts by subscribing via RSS or email or by following our Twitter feed. Alternatively, there is a Facebook page – feel free to join in!
