It's been a full first year of blogging at American Scientist. Over the year, we’ve hosted many voices on a variety of subjects, from science communication pointers to spacesuit engineering. Our blogs are of four types:
- Macroscope—scientists discuss new directions or issues,
- The Long View—authors update a feature with the latest research,
- Science Culture—staff and scientist authors write on the interaction between science and culture,
- From the Staff—our editorial team discusses what’s on our radar.
Here are the highlights—in each category—the most popular posts of 2015.
