Scientist blogs

Blogs: a form of communication between those who make the news and those who read and react to it.

Science can also benefit from this new medium, and the next generation of scientists are using blogs as a tool to educate, inform, and even entertain the public directly.

Scientists around the world are actively engaged in Earth and space science research. A few of them like to share their thoughts through blogs, hoping to keep you informed about their research, their hopes, and their concerns. We've linked to a few of them here for you to enjoy.<p><small><em>Image courtesy of NASA/Apollo 17.</em></small></p>
