I hope you’re enjoying this series of blog posts. If so, then I’d love to shine the spotlight on additional science blogs and scientists and help spread the word of amazing science outreach. If you know of a scientist, science educator, or science communicator with an emerging online presence (via blogging, Twitter, podcasting, etc) who you think is amazing and would like to help spread the word about how amazing they are, then recommend him or her. Now accepting recommendations for upcoming Science Blogger Spotlight for upcoming weeks.

DNLee is a biologist and she studies animal behavior, mammalogy, and ecology . She uses social media, informal experiential science experiences, and draws from hip hop culture to share science with general audiences, particularly under-served groups.
