I read and philosophize about science more than I participate. I was web searching for more ways to contribute something anyway, while learning, and found Envirolink.org, an online environmental community. There are many links there to follow, so it looks like a promising source of interesting possiblilities.
Skylar Lab Weblog of Biology, Environment, and Philosophy has many contributors, writing on many topics. I came across it yesterday, and have found some of what is there provocative. The posts tend to be brief, and link to a lot more articles and commentary. Since I take not just one, but several both/and stands on the debate over the teaching of Intelligent Design, I found myself a bit impatient, after a short while, with the posts and articles there on that topic. Almost everything else I stopped to read brought me more questions – and I enjoy that.
ScienceBlog.com has no paywalls, no sponsored content, and no agenda beyond getting the science right. Every story here is written to inform, not to impress an advertiser or push a point of view.
Good science journalism takes time — reading the papers, checking the claims, finding researchers who can put findings in context. We do that work because we think it matters.
