Getting Ready for Just Science 2008
I am preparing to get involved in Just Science 2008, the second year of this week-long event promoting the discussion of peer-reviewed research on science blogs. The event has been organized both years by Razib at Gene Expression, who (like myself) seems to grow tired of the “alternative topics” dominating the themes of many of the science blogs out there.
The rules are pretty simple: for just five days, each participating blog can only post about science. You have to post at least one post per day for the week of February 4-8. Last year, we didn’t quite make that mark but this year I am getting started early and am determined to meet that goal.
I’d encourage any other science bloggers out there to sign up. It’s a great way to motivate yourself to write about some research that will interest your readers, and you’re likely to find new blogs through the aggregated feed offered during the week of Just Science.
On the other hand, if you can’t stand to only write about science for five days, don’t bother. The readers of the aggregate feed are only interested in hearing about science.
