We don't have many science-related blogs in NUS, which is somewhat surprising considering that science matters, particularly their impact on society, are highly bloggable.

There's Habitatnews, a natural history news blog maintained by N. Sivasothi of the Raffles Museum of Biodiversity Research. During the previous semester, Dr Victor Tan maintained a module blog for MA1505 Mathematics 1.

And that's about it. At least to my knowledge. (If you know of more, do let me know.)

What would a science blog look like? ScienceBlogs might have the answer:

From climate change to intelligent design, HIV/AIDS to stem cells, science education to space exploration, science is figuring prominently in our discussions of politics, religion, philosophy, business and the arts. New insights and discoveries in neuroscience, theoretical physics and genetics are revolutionizing our understanding of who are are, where we come from and where we're heading. ScienceBlogs is a portal to this global dialogue, a digital science salon featuring the leading bloggers from a wide array of scientific disciplines. Our mission is to build a community of like-minded individuals who are passionate about science and its place in our culture, and give them a place to meet.

As a layperson, I find that the articles posted there are highly readable, posts which I can consume during leisure time. That's the beauty of these blogs: they make seemingly inaccessible subjects accessible to the commonner.

At first glance, it can be a bit daunting (ScienceBlogs is a metablog, something like the front page of NUS Module Blogs.) ScienceBlog's home page shows excerpts from the various blogs within ScienceBlogs. Scroll down to 'More recent posts by channel' and explore away!
