What are the blogs you use for your research or learning purposes?
There are quite a few I use for personal learning, I am going to list them out here so you could check them out.
Scientopia— Scientopia is a community of bloggers who love to write about science. They explore the interplay between scientific issues and other parts of our lives with the shared goal of making science more accessible.
Occams Typewriter— This is another independent blogging community where you can find posts by the respected physicist Athene Donald, who blogs about her views and opinions on the scientific life, and Jenny Rohn, the scientist, novelist, and activist. It is also worth checking out Lablit, a site launched by Jenny Rohn, and the spiritual home of all fiction and creative writing about scientists.
PLoS Blogs— The network of this open-access journal has six staff-written blogs from PLOS journal editors or departmental teams, and a variety of independent bloggers writing on scientific topics.
Discover— A magazine based blog, including the popular Neuroskeptic.
SciLogs— SciLogs, supported by Nature, is a great place to find a variety of science bloggers writing on many topics, and new bloggers are welcome to join them.
1. National Geographic: The National Geographic network, known as Phenomena, hosts some of the internet’s best known science bloggers including Carl Zimmer and Ed Yong, who bring science to life with colourful and informed writing on the latest research. Laelaps by Brian Switek provides great coverage of paleontology.
2. The Guardian’s Science Blog Network: As one of the top newspapers covering scientific topics, it is no surprise that the Guardian also has an active science blogging network. What makes this blog even stronger is that the writers are given the freedom to write about anything they choose, without editorial interference, adding depth and perspective to the newspaper’s coverage, and also providing humour and less mainstream commentary.
3. Scientific American Blogs: Here you’ll find both staff-written blogs from the professional writers at Scientific American and invited bloggers who discuss and share opinions related to science.
4. Science Blogs: Over 60 bloggers selected on the basis of their originality, insight, talent, and dedication provide up-to-date coverage of their different scientific fields. The American science and technology magazine has an active group of bloggers, including Maryn McKenna, who is at the forefront of writing about infectious disease.
