All the best journals are doing it

Starting a blog, that is. It’s good to see PLoS Biology following Annals of Botany’s lead and starting their own blog, PLoS Biologue 😉

A recent post by Lisa Gross, Reach out and teach someone, gives some nice case studies of how the content of PLoS Biology is being used in education to stimulate students to think about science. There’s a nice open access repository of plant science materials in AoB PLANTS, so maybe it’s about time someone tried out some of these ideas to big up plant science in school and university curricula?
