Nerdy Science Blog

Would you demand your lab members have their own blog? Rosie Redfield, an evolutionary biologist at the University of British Columbia, had all her lab members to have a blog.

Anyway, it turns out that Rosie makes it a requirement for her lab members to maintain a blog. This was primarily to act as an appendum lab book, and a place to reflect on the experiments carried out recently.

I would love to see every lab members have a blog, but when it comes to the matter of competitors, I don’t think much researchers would write much about their researches before they get their articles published. As some scientists said, why help your competitors?
