Setting up a science blog
Damien Carrington at SciDev has written a nice introduction on how to set up a science blog - and why.
Members of the Research Cooperative can use their own pages on the Cooperative to blog about anything, but ideally they will also use them to blog on matters related to scientific writing, translation, editing, and publishing.
Which leads me to a question - what are the connotations of 'research' and 'science' as nouns, or 'research' and 'scientific' as adjectives?
My own feeling is that 'research' as a noun, verb, or adjective refers more closely to the practical investigation a particular something.
'Science', 'doing science' and 'scientific' may have broader meanings, suggesting a larger realm of knowledge or a larger discipline within which research is carried out.
