Great News for Science Blogging

Congratulations to Frog Bloggers Jeremy Stone and Humphrey Jones for taking home the 'Big Mouth' award from the Eircom Spiders which were held in Dublin's Burlington Hotel last Thursday night.

The fact that two science blogs were nominated in this category and that the Frog Blog took the prize home is great news for Irish science blogging which is going from strength to strength at the moment.

"A typical science practical today will see the student presented with a prepared methodology which they perform in order to gather data which will (hopefully) confirm a piece of knowledge which has often been explained to them previously in the classroom. There needs to be a more ‘authentic’ practical experience to augment these necessary ‘foolproof’ experiments and a piece of independent, though well supervised, research may be the answer."
