Blocaires de Ciència [Més bona ciència 2.0]

ImageScienceBlogs acaba d’anunciar els 50 posts de ciència nominats com a finalistes a l’Open Lab 2009. Em sembla molt interessant perquè permet descobrir molts de científics blocaires (i segurament periodistes científics blocaires). Entre això, el concurs de tweets, categoria ciència (Shorty Awards), i el ScienceOnline 2010 (@scio10)que es desenvoluparà dintre de poc, hi haurà una bona col.lecció de comunicació científica 2.0.

És interessant veure que es tracta de premis a posts, no pas a blocaires.

La seva autora és Michelle M. Francl, que entre altres coses ha estudiat computacionalment molècules en forma de Cinta de Moebius. El seu blog té com a subtítol The Who, What, When, Where and Why of Chemistry, i a més diu encertadament que

Chemistry is not a world unto itself. It is woven firmly into the fabric of the rest of the world, and various fields, from literature to archeology, thread their way through the chemist’s text.
