This is a little cheesy, but I’m in the process of wrapping up an extended stay on the West Coast and in the absence of a real blog entry I thought I’d highlight some other online sources that have come across my radar recently.

For those of us interested in the relationship between science, development, poverty, and that whole cluster of global issues, try SciDev.Net, it’s an impressive resource for news about science-related issues in the developing world.

Following a link from Andrew Revkin’s New York Times Dot Earth blog (which in itself is a wonderful resource), I’ve been reading Michael Glantz Fragile Ecologies site which synthesizes his research on how climate change and agriculture (primarily biofuels) issues affect people at the local level in the developing world. His articles are impressively clear and deserving of wider attention. Unfortunately, Revkin recently posted that Glantz’s research group has lost most of their funding and has been dramatically scaled back.
