ejohnson | April 4, 2008The latest issue of Seed features nine visionary thinkers whose work straddles the line between science and design. One is a "material ecologist" whose architectural designs, like a wax building skin that responds to wind and temperature, mimic natural materials. Another pair of graphic designers analyze massive amounts of data from seemingly mundane sources to create images that reveal unseen trends in addition to being visually striking.

ejohnson | March 6, 2008Fans of Jennifer Jacquet's and Randy Olson's maritime musings over at Shifting Baselines will be glad to know that they have recently added a new co-blogger to the mix. Josh Donlan shares their passion for conservation but brings his own unique terrestrial approach.

What's your name?
Josh Donlan
What do you do when you're not blogging?
I am a conservation scientist with Cornell University and director of the NGO Advanced Conservation Strategies.

For those of you who have been thirsting for more details on our newest ScienceBlogger since the introduction of his blog Not Exactly Rocket Science, here Page 3.14 offers an interview with Ed Yong.
Among other juicy tidbits, Ed reveals that he once worked in research science but gave it up for writing. We can't help but be glad that he did!
Starting out easy: What's your name?
Ed Yong. I have no pseudonym and automatically incline towards people who write and post under their own names. Ed stands for Edmund, which apparently means "wealthy protector," and I have a Chinese name that…
