About us
Science Blog was started in August 2002. It lives, breathes and eats press releases from research organizations around the globe. Most of what you read here are press releases from the outfits named in the stories themselves. Got a news story you think belongs here?
Let's talk.
The other half of the equation is
blog posts from readers like you. So if you have an interest in science,
please register and join others like you in an ongoing, vibrant dialog about what makes the world tick. Meantime, please take a minute to read our

The Urban and Environmental Policy Institute at Occidental College recently made our report "Connecting the Parks to the Community and the Community to the Parks" available. In it, we explore both environmental and community impacts of Urban Parks, and suggest different ways to maximize the benefits and reduce the negative impacts. You and your readers might find it interesting.
