Of Schemes and Memes Blog

Welcome to the new nature.com blogs!

Welcome!

We’re really excited to launch the nature.com blogs network today, the new home for blogs written by Nature Publishing Group (NPG) editors, staff and occasional guest bloggers. You can find Nature’s News blogNature Chemistry’s Sceptical Chymist and Nature Medicine’s Spoonful of Medicine here on the site. We also host the staff blogs that originally lived on Nature Network: Bioentrepreneur’s Trade Secrets, the NatureJobs blog and the Nature Protocols blog, now called Stepwise. Plus, there’s the nature.com Communities team blogs: Of Schemes and Memes (this one!), our guest blog, Soapbox Science and our local blogs for LondonBoston and New York. You can find a full set of links to all 18 active blogs plus 7 archived blogs in the side bar of every blog page.

This is the first time we’ve had a site that brings together all of the nature.com blogs and we hope you’ll like how much easier it is to find conference reports, editorials, round-ups and other updates from our editors and colleagues.

We’ll be introducing each blog in turn here on Of Schemes and Memes, so keep checking back over the coming days to find out about the kind of topics covered by each blog and to meet the blog authors.

Improvements

As well as bringing our blogs up-to-date with some new features, we’ve also improved how they look so that they tie in more seamlessly with the journal or other product with which they’re associated. To complement this closer integration, as of tomorrow blog results now appear when you search for content from elsewhere on nature.com.

Join the conversation

You will need to be registered on nature.com to comment on our staff blogs (registration is free and is a simple page to complete – if you’re concerned about privacy, see our policy).

You can also find us on Twitter and Google+.  The nature.com Facebook page  posts wider updates of nature.com’s activities which includes staff blogs.

Other blogging activities

If you’re wondering where the nature.com blogs aggregator is which used to reside on blogs.nature.com – we’ve temporarily taken it offline. The APIs are still accessible and the catalogue contents are safe. Expect more news next year.

Being plugged into conversations, through our blogs, and the many other ways we talk with you, is important to NPG. The launch of the new Scientific American blogging network, the new staff blogs site and our expanding Science Online conferences are just some of the activities we’re working on.  Do let us know what you think.
