[OWW-SC] John Udell: Bloggers talk to bloggers, scientists talk to scientists

[Mackenzie Cowell]

Jason Morrison pointed me to an interesting blog post by technologist John
Udell called Bloggers talk to bloggers, scientists talk to
scientists<http://blog.jonudell.net/2008/01/22/bloggers-talk-to-bloggers-scientists-talk-to-scientists/>
.

It's an interesting and short post about his perception of the lack of
interconnects between the long-term "academic" discussions that are
conducted basically by publishing primary literature articles and the
discussions about and relating to the science published via blogs and more
domestic sources like mainstream news websites.  Quote:

"The mainstream vector was a New York Times magazine story on obesity. It
got to the blogosophere by way of a Wired News story. But the original
Nature Biotechnology article mentioned in the Wired story was linked nowhere
that I could find."


Check it out.  It's insightful and asks some good questions.  Also, did we
send anyone to the recent Science Blogging conference in North Carolina this
weekend?
