We’re trying to save SciScoop, and I think we may just manage it. All we need are volunteers who are willing to submit one science related story per week. It’s easy to do; it can be as simple as paraphrasing a press release in a couple of paragraphs. I’m in, as are a few others. If we can get enough people so that there are two stories per day, we think the site can only go from strength to strength. So please, if you think you fit the bill, do head over there. Thanks.

SciScoop, the community science blog, has been saved! David Bradley Science Writer has taken over the reins from long-time webmaster Ricky James
Well, SciScoop is well past its first year with yours truly at the reins. We’re fast heading towards 2000 registered users and almost 2500 stories. The big advantage scoop sites, such as http://www.sciscoop.com over the likes of Digg is that once a story makes it to the front page voting stops, which means popular stories don’t get more popular leaving room for new upcoming stories.
Anyway, pay us a visit. We now have a Controversial Conjectures section for the more offbeat theories and research news.
