At The Scientist, the editors are awaiting your suggestions on your favorite life science blogs to gather the list of blogs that are especially hot for life science researchers. They asked 7 science bloggers (Abel Pharmboy, Bora Zivkovic, Carl Zimmer, Newamul Khan, PZ Myers, Ed Silverman and me) to nominate some of their favorite blogs for a start.

My answer:
Instead of picking three individual blogs, I’d like to mention three topic-related branches of blogs or blog aggregators, referring this way to many individual bloggers and a larger amount of information and information filters. This approach follows from my blog reading habit as my starting point for blogs and all web related science and technology things, are the web sites that could be reached through RSS feeds using a feed reader, which is Google Reader, in my case.
The groups are: a) science blogs written by scientists, b) science related blogs written by journalists and editors, and c) technology and web related blogs written by “alpha geeks and early adopters.”

a. science blogs written by scientists:
Ouroboros : Chris Patil, postdoc in Judith Campisi’s lab at the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, reviews articles on the biology of aging, also called biogerontology. The model for Ouroboros was Science Magazine’s SAGE KE.
Daily Transcript : Alex Palazzo, a postdoc at Harvard Medical School, very good mix of hardcore science and general science related material.
