Hello, ecologgers! I've received many questions from people on this listserv about science blogging.
As it happens, I will be teaching a workshop about science blogging at this year's ESA meeting in Pittsburgh. The event will be on Saturday, July 31 from 1-5 p.m. Additional information can be found on the conference website, http://eco.confex.com/eco/2010/techprogram/D1032.HTM The goal of the workshop is to explain the importance of communicating science to the public through blogging, as well as to demonstrate how to blog. I will also focus on how science blogging can help make undergraduate biology courses more engaging for students.. Participants will leave the workshop with a fully functional science blog, the knowledge of how to be a good blogger, and a network of colleagues who can help you and your blog in the future. I encourage anyone interested in communicating science to the public through science blogging to register. Please let me know if you have any questions for me! Sincerely, David Shiffman
