Credible Blogs for Scientific Research
Thursday, October 9th, 2008I would love to get more researchers to blog. I know for some, especially Post Docs and graduate students, there is fear that their writing will be misinterepreted or by chance impact their career later down the road.

One way to do that is to build a blog that has many authors/contributors. I have been creating blogs that have me as the single author. […]
