Ecolog folks, A few weeks ago I launched the Small Pond Science blog, which is about doing research in a teaching institution. The readership is mostly ecologists.
It's found at http://smallpondscience.com The blog is directed towards those working in teaching institutions, and anybody who is thinking about moving into such a line of work. I'm hoping it will be informative for grad students and postdocs who are thinking about applying to this kind of position. There are a number of excellent ecology blogs, though they don't reflect the vast number of us who are at teaching institutions. This is designed to partially rectify that situation. The blog will touch on ecology once in a while, but I'm working to make it more broadly applicable for all scientists. Feedback is quite welcome. Cheers, Terry McGlynn Associate Professor of Biology California State University Dominguez Hills blog: smallpondscience.com lab site: leaflitter.org
