All sorts of news very recently on the science blogging front:<\/p>\n
Seed’s ScienceBlogs<\/a> site has been revamped, with 25 new blogs for a total of 43 science bloggers. First it was Cosmic Variance<\/a> with 5 bloggers, now it is ScienceBlogs with 43. How can a single artisanal blog maker like myself compete with these massive blogging conglomerates? Still not very many physicists over at Seed. Besides Chad Orzel<\/a>, one of the new ones is astrophysicist Steinn Sigurosson<\/a> who has been running a blog called The Dynamics of Cats<\/a>.<\/p>\n One physics blog I ran across recently, one that isn’t moving to Seed, is Angry Physics<\/a>.<\/p>\n Besides Seed, Nature magazine has started up a site called NatureBlogs<\/a>. They are running blogs on chemistry<\/a>, genetics<\/a>, and neuroscience<\/a>, as well as a more general one on web technology and science<\/a>. There’s also a newsblog<\/a> for comments on news stories appearing in Nature, as well as a discussion blog<\/a> related to a radical new concept in peer review that they are trying out: a blog<\/a> where certain papers submitted to Nature are posted, asking for commentary on the paper, to be considered as part of the peer review process.<\/p>\n Nature also just launched another new project which I’d been hearing about for a while from my brother, called Nature Network Boston<\/a>. It’s intended as a networking site for scientists in the Boston area, and has news<\/a>, event listings<\/a>, groups<\/a>, and, guess what, more blogs<\/a>. Maybe Lubos can start a string theory fanatic’s group there…<\/p>\n Finally, Jacques Distler is helping to provide access to these proliferating blogs with a new aggregation site he calls Planet Musings<\/a>. As usual<\/a>, Jacques is careful to make sure that anything he has control over censors links to people who disagree with him…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" All sorts of news very recently on the science blogging front: Seed’s ScienceBlogs site has been revamped, with 25 new blogs for a total of 43 science bloggers.
