Quick note: I'm hosting the plant carnival Berry Go Round this month, and you have 2 days to send me any interesting posts you've written or found. I'll stick something up on Sunday.
Cheers,
Ed
Not Exactly Rocket Science
My small attempt to celebrate science and to make it interesting and fun by giving jargon, confusion and elitism a solid beating with the stick of good writing.

Ed lives in London and works at Cancer Research UK. This blog is his attempt to make science interesting to everyone by beating jargon, confusion and elitism with the stick of good writing. Ed is an award-winning freelance science writer. He finds writing about himself in the third person strange and unsettling.
