There are a bunch of science bloggers out there, most of the time they’re writing in a more general way about things, but I just thought I’d like to highlight some great posts about recent scientific papers. I keep meaning to write some posts like this, but I just haven’t gotten around to it.
These are some great ones I’ve recently come across recently that actually concern papers I happened to have already read. It’s pretty wonderful to read something like these. Posts that improve your understanding of a paper:
dechronization: When We Fail MrBayes…
Evolutionary Novelties: Two Animal Nervous Systems?
I feel like there should be more cutting edge discussions of science on the blogs, but it doesn’t seem like this kind of thing gets started very often in biology/evolution circles. I wonder why that is. Probably there just isn’t the critical mass of bloggers/blog-readers.
Indeed, and I would like to add Ed Young’s blog “Not Exactly Rocket Science” and “Tetrapod Zoology” to the list.
