Hey Young and Early-Career Science Writers, What Should We Blog About?

This article was published in Scientific American’s former blog network and reflects the views of the author, not necessarily those of Scientific American


Since The SA Incubator launched in 2011 as part of the original line-up of Scientific American’s science blogging network, Bora has posted 100 blog posts here. Yes, exactly 100 at time of writing. I joined in as coblogger some months after the blog launched and have posted over 70 blog posts.

From our weekly picks of articles and blog posts to tips, interviews, reviews of student-run science publications and the occasional essay, our blog posts all revolved around the premise of supporting and promoting young and early-career science writers.

As we start off this new year, we want to push further in that direction. We want to know how we can make The SA Incubator more helpful to you. So, we’re asking for your feedback.
