James Byrne of the Disease of the Week! blog (also on Twitter) is the latest guest blogger on the Scientific American Guest Blog. Check out his post – Bacteria, the anti-cancer soldier.
As I noted yesterday, the Scientific American Guest Blog is about to get really busy! Already today we have another new post – We all need (a little bit of) sex by Lucas Brouwers (blog, Twitter). Go and check it out and post comments (it takes a second to register).
Comments Off on Guest Blog at Scientific American – second guest post: We all need (a little bit of) sex
Posted in Blogging, Evolution, Invertebrates, SciAm, Sex
Building the new science blogging network at Scientific American will take some time. But there are already seven blogs on the site, mostly written by Scientific American editors, writers and correspondents. One blog that is written by others – scientists and bloggers – is the Guest Blog that has been around for several years now.
Starting today, I will be in charge of the Guest Blog, and have invited a number of interesting people to contribute guest posts for it (Interested? Pitch me a story at: Bora@sciam.com).
The first contributor is Dr.Carin Bondar (Twitter) with a post about conservation – the dueling approaches to species preservation: saving one species at a time, or saving entire ecosystems and ecological communities. Carin reviews recent studies from both ‘schools’ and makes her own decision as to which approach makes more sense. Go read it here!
If you want to contact me about something directly related to my job – building a science blogging network at Scientific American – you can now do so via this e-mail address:
Bora AT sciam DOT com
For everything else, you should keep using my old address (coturnix AT gmail DOT com), but if you really want to get my attention, DM me on Twitter.
Late last night, while you were probably asleep, the Scientific American crew unveiled a re-design of the website – check out the shiny, new look at Scientific American homepage.
The re-design also includes the landing page for all seven of the current blogs – just go here.
As far as I know, each blog has its own RSS feed but there is still no Combined feed, so, in order to aggregate the SciAm blogs on Scienceblogging.org we made a combined feed using FriendFeed – see it here.
Read more about the changes, by Mariette DiChristina and Philip Yam.
The fact that the site redesign is done also means that we can start thinking about, developing and building the new blogging network. This will take some time, but I am chomping at the bit!
