Advancing science through blogging
There’s a paper in the latest issue of PLoS Biology about blogging: Advancing Science through Conversations: Bridging the Gap between Blogs and the Academy
The topic is how blogs can be used as an outreach from scientists to the public. That sounds fair enough. There’s also a bit about how this can be formalised.
I’m not sure I would appreciate that much. I like my blogs informal. For formal stuff, I’ll stick to journals.
There’s a detailed comment on the paper at DrugMonkey. By and large I agree with the comments there…
