Following last week's discussion of blogging within the history of science community, I've stumbled on a few more resources. In no particular order, here's everything I have so far.
Group or Organizational Blogs
- History of Science in America
- HSS Graduate and Early Career Caucus
- Society for the History of Technology News (SHOTnews)
- HSTM at Minnesota (University of Minnesota graduate students)
- Logan Lounge (University of Pennsylvania graduate students)
- In Retrospect (University of Utrecht graduate students)
Individual Blogs by Historians of Science
- John M. Lynch - yours truly, faculty at Arizona State University
- Michael Robinson - faculty at University of Hartford
- John Wilkins - faculty at University of Queensland
- Ben Cohen - faculty at University of Virginia
- Katherine Pandora - faculty at University of Oklahoma
- Gustav Holmberg - historian at Lund University
- Will Thomas - postdoc at the American Institute of Physics
- Sage Ross - graduate student at Yale
- Michael Barton - graduate student at Montana State (also blogs here)
- Suzanne Fischer - graduate student at Minnesota
A Carnival
A Handful of Online Journals
- Spontaneous Generations (University of Toronto)
- Hydra (University of Oklahoma)
A Pair of Podcasts
- The Missing Link (Elizabeth Green Musselman at Southwestern)
- Distillations (Chemical Heritage Foundation)
A Brace of Facebook Groups
- History of Science Society (HSS)
- International Society for the History Philosophy and Social Studies of Biology (ISHPSSB)
Please take this opportunity to make me aware of anything or anyone I have missed. Neither history of medicine nor history of technology are really my thing, so if anyone else wants to carry the baton for those areas, I'm sure it would be appreciated.

Thanks for the great post - I have a lot of reading to do...

I think a lot of blogs with history of science content are also pretty interdisciplinary (I write mostly about history museums, myself); Cliopatria's history blogroll has a section on "Digital history, science and technology," which includes some HoS blogs.
Also, Penn's grad program has a blog, the Logan Lounge. And the Chemical Heritage Foundation has a podcast called Distillations.
And if you wanted to start talking history of medicine blogs, I could give a whole other list!

Thanks for the mentions, John. I should point out that I was only temporarily affiliated with the University of Maryland. I'm really at the American Institute of Physics.

Thanks for the updates, folks. I'll keep adding as long as people keep providing new links.

The 'In Our Time' podcast often covers history of science topics:

At York University, in Toronto, we run a blog about the history of psychology: "Advances in the History of Psychology" (http://ahp.yorku.ca).
It also covers issues of interest more generally to historians of science, with special attention given to discussions of historiography.
