In the past, I have been interested in providing a site for discussion of topics relating to science books for young readers, but the venue was never right.
It now looks like Facebook might be the right place. I will intervene only to keep things civil or to add what I hope are provocative and interesting points or questions.
Here’s the link. Please pass it along to anyone who might be interested.

Since I haven’t tried this at Facebook before, I don’t know whether I need to change some flags on my account. If you try to comment or to start a topic and it fails, write me a message on my wall or send me an e-mail.
At this point, I just want to have a “show of hands,” so add a short response to this thread to say, “I’m here and I’m interested.”
Of course, if you want to start a topic of your own–even a controversial one–go for it!
Scientifically yours,
“Dr. Fred” Bortz
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.
