Whether you are new to blogs or a practised poster, Eureka’s Top 30 Science Blogs will not disappoint. After much heated debate, the Eureka team have picked 30 of their favourite science, environment, health and technology blogs. If you want to know more about the latest NHS catastrophe or climate change scandal, someone on our list will have it covered.
So, now we’ve shown you ours, we want you to show us yours. We know our 30 blogs are not exhaustive; they’re a subjective take on the best bloggers out there. We’d like you to help us us to compile the definitive list, the Top 100 Science Blogs. Send the name and url of your favourites to eureka@thetimes.co.uk, with “Best blogs” in the subject line.
Two that I read that are missing from this Eureka list are Neurophilosophy (yes, I know, another on scienceblogs) and Bad Science. Ben Goldacre does write for the Guardian so perhaps the Times didn't want to advertise a competing newspaper.
However, where are all the ScientificBlogging blogs? None appear on this highly subjective Top 30 but the opportunity is there to get some SB bloggers into their eventual Top 100. The email for nominations is above - and you can always copy your email in the comments below.
