Another blogger, Katrina Charles at Nature/Nature online, wrote about radioactivity in kitchen countertops and melting glaciers as well as contributing news items on pollution and green rooftops.
Matt Rooney at Times Higher Education wrote about The Great Global Warming Swindle and junior research fellowships. Rather appropriately he also wrote an article on scientists in the media.
