Blogging for Useful Information...


While I was happily browsing through the science blogs that are out there on the net, it didn’t take long to find one that I really, really liked!! The first one that I found that I really liked was called “The Artful Amoeba.” I thought this blog was set up very nicely. It was super easy to read and relate to but it had awesome information in it that could be very useful when conducting science research for a paper or something like that. One of the posts that immediately caught my attention was about Venus Fly Trap and how it attracts and traps its flying prey. The video was so awesome! I was laughing when I saw the leaves of the trap snap shut on the unsuspecting insects and my mom asked to see what I was watching. I think she thought I was a little demented because of the fact that I found humor in the poor insects being killed by the plants.

Pharyngula” is another blog that I found to be very interesting. It is put up by an older man who has a little more jargon language. It took me a little longer to pick up on the language but it had some great information and he seems to have a strong opinion about some matters. It has more than just science in it; the author talks about religion, politics, and other skepticisms that he has. As a matter of fact, the things other than science take up more space in the blog than the science actually does. I still like the blog and its content. It was very interesting to read.


Since I took Marie Biology last spring, I have been really interested in marine organisms and marine systems in general. One of my favorite organisms that we played with was the amazingly cute sea urchin. I loved them!! “The Echinoblog” was a perfect find for me! I loved reading about the different echinoderms that the author was writing about. He seemed to be very knowledgeable about echinoderms and their various parts and functions. He was also very good at bring the information down to the level of a person who had no idea what was going on. This will be one blog that I will probably begin to keep up on. Hopefully you guys will like it as well!!

  1. I had not seen the echinoblog yet. Very nice. There is quite the debate between marine blogs about the best phylum - with the echinoderm and mollusk people often battling it out.

  2. My financial target is bitcoin and i will keep investing in it because it's the only cryptocurrency with the overall best performance in the past few years. The truth is that the volatility associated with bitcoin is what makes it so profitable especially when you trade with a good strategy. Until i started making profits consistently of trading then i believed it was possible. BTC hits another bearish cost as individuals expanded their offers in order to make immense addition from the ascent however as we would all be able to see now the market is truly insecure,The fact is that BTC is the future of all cryptocurrencies and the question that traders are asking now is whether that is the right time to invest? Before you jump into conclusion I think you should take a look at things first. The price of BTC has fluctuated over the past few days which means that the market is currently unstable and you cannot tell if it's going bearish or bullish. While others continue to trade without fear of losing, others are patient. It all depends on the model you trade with and also on the source of your signals. I underwent series of trading loses I'd best not talk about before I was introduced to trading analyst Mr Bernie Doran has been the Hallmark of this year for me, under his careful guide and his signal service I've been able to recover my losses and even grow my trading portfolio massively from 1.2 btc to 5.6 btc in just 4 weeks. I will advice traders especially newbies to have orientation of trading before they involve in it. Mr Bernie Doran makes you happy, you make profit with his signals.
