Siva at Habitatnews, highlights three blogs by students from the Department of Biological Sciences.

Arthroplog is a blog about Arthropods. These consist of insects, arachnids (such as spiders), crustaceans and the like. Just one post at this point in time but the has great potential to grow.

The Chek Jawa Mortality and Recruitment Project, by Loh Kok Sheng, is a blog which reports on "the mass mortality and recruitment of macrofauna" at Chek Jawa. Kok Sheng intends to carry on this blog beyond the time-frame of his assignment.

Johora singaporensis is Daniel's honours year thesis project blog. He thinks out loud, shares observations and posts photos of this local crab species on his blog.

Some benefits of student blogs:

  • easy way to keep track of students' progress, particularly with project work
  • sharing information with and educating the world at large
  • possibility of coming across people in similar areas of study/research
