Bethany Halford: 'Will A Blogger Put Me Out Of Work One Day?

Bethany Halford at Chemical & Engineering News has a January 29, 2007, post on chemist who blog. I counted at least 25 such blogs referenced in her post and in a separate list.

"I worry," Halford said. "Will a blogger put me out of work one day? I find a little consolation in the fact that most chemistry bloggers seem to have no interest in moving into writing full-time. Also, many write their blogs anonymously."
