Scientific American Blog Network (07 . 07 . 2011)

Scientific American has launched a new blog network which includes editorial, independent and group blogs. The blog network, overseen by Blog Editor Bora Zivkovic, who serves as moderator for the community, encourages discussion and facilitates the exchange of ideas with both the bloggers and Scientific American readers.

Bloggers range from graduate students, who are launching their careers, to veteran science writers. The format of the blog allows for diversity in tone and topics. Many of the bloggers focus on the bridge between science and other fields such as philosophy, sociology, music, art, gender and race, hip-hop culture and literature.

The Scientific American Blog Network is hosted on its own landing page.

An initiative of the IUA Librarians

I think IReL is a huge joint achievement of the HEA, IUA & SFI and in particular the libraries of the institutions involved.
