Blogging the history of science 11 Aug 20084 Oct 2017 A chance link to my blog has led me through an ego search to find Will Thomas’ most excellent Ether Wave Propaganda blog.

Interestingly (to me) I read the title of this post as referring to the History of blogging-about-science rather than blogging about the History of Science. It was not, in fact, until I read the last three words of the post that I realised and went back to re-read the post from the beginning. I wonder why I read it that way even though I think that History of Science is The Most Awesomest Thing Evar… hmm

ephant – I read it that way too. If someone were to write a history of science blogging, The Most Awesomest Thing Evar would be the perfect title.
