[...] Something related: I just (indirectly through here and here) found a post from a microbiology grad student who was “fired” for blogging back in June. In my science blogging article I mention people getting fired for blogging briefly in the intro, but this is the first time I’ve heard of it in relation to science*. However, this blog was a personal blog, and the student in question was asked to leave because he was believed to have expressed a lack of interest in the project through his blog. (I assume this was one of the offending posts.) You probably won’t find any lack of interest in science in a science blog. *I’m not counting the case of Jessa Jeffries here, who got fired from a museum, but still works at an aquarium, which I think is probably more related to her marine zoology degree.

Hi Eva
I am trying to follow the links you provide to download the article now, but keep getting page not found. (for the journal and the pdf) Do they work OK for you?
Best wishes
Maxine.

I hope in time more people would actually publish results on blogs (or something like blogs). This would allow a more open , real time science, instead of the current model where everyone hides their work for 2-3 years before the papers come out. We end up wasting resources like this because it is impossible to know who is working on what problems at from what angle.

Chief editor, that’s so cool! I like Hypothesis, but I’m sure that’s not surprising.
