The Borg is taking over the World!!!

By clock on March 17, 2009.

Those of you who were at ScienceOnline'09 already know this, because the news was first announced there, but now it is official - we have a new addition to ScienceBlogs.com: along with the English-language and German-language networks, we now also have the Portuguese-language network!

Please welcome...drumroll.....Scienceblogs Brasil!!!

ScienceBlogs Brazil has 23 blogs (several of which were the part of the original Lablogatorios network that metamorphosed into Sb.br) covering a whole range of scientific topics. With more or less regularity, some of their best posts will be translated into English and you will be able to see them linked from our site.

To explore the new network, you can start with these English-language posts:

Navigation is required*: the incredible case of the desert ant

Women in Science--Margareth Mee and Maria Werneck de Castro

Candiru (or the-fish-you-don't-want-to-know-about)

Dom José, excommunicate me!

Mine is larger than yours
