"Some things I have to say aren't getting said
in this snowy, blonde, blue-eyed, gum chewing English"~Julia Alvarez
For some time now I have been posting scientific items, as news worthy items, for a Biology in the News class presented by the distinguished Dr.R. Hardwick of Clemson University. Thus far, Dr. Hardwick and interested parties, I have failed to find a persona. Let me explain; I have now had adequate time to consider how best for me to present information and to whom that might be the audience.
Rather than trying to form myself into the rules of others; I have decided to make the rules myself. A) blogs must have credibility B) Blogs must contain information of interest C) Blogs must be concise and well written---keeping these ideas in mind I have now decided to aim my attention toward an audience that wants to know science stuff that is good stuff and includes progress that makes all of us whole and happy well informed people, and focus totally on credibility of the source and evidential support.
In short, why should I waste my time reading a blog? Certainly it must be because we find something in common with the writer of the blog or the persona of the writer, or the opinion of the blogger. His/her style or slant or down home folksy charm or something about the blogger we enjoy otherwise information generic.
