Irish Science Blogs - A Working List

Good news!!! The number of science blogs in Ireland seems to be on the increase. This is a brilliant development and it is very reassuring to see scientists, researchers, students, teachers and anyone with an interest in science reaching out to the Irish public. However, since these blogs are emerging so quickly, it can be difficult to keep track of all of them. So, in an effort to help Irish science bloggers network with individuals with similar aspirations (namely the communication of science - no matter what our target audience is) and to allow members of the Irish public find all these new blogs, I want to make a comprehensive list of all of Ireland's science blogs - both from individuals and organisations. Below is a list of 30 50 Irish science blogs which I am aware of (and their associated twitter accounts). If you are an Irish science blogger or know of another science blog out there, please add the address as a comment below. Once the list is complete, I think it would be great to have a "science blogger meet-up" to discuss the role of science blogs in science communication and to consider an idea I posted earlier in the year - namely the creation of an Irish science blogging network.

Apologies for the lack of well, blog, on my blog. It was attacked by malware so I've completely deleted it, have asked Google to recheck it as safe and it will launch again!
