One of my interest in biology is the ongoing debate and discoveries made in the area of stem cell research.
Here you can find a blog on such subject.
I was surprised to find that the blog was written by a lady (Anne Leonard) who has a BA in liberal arts and yet knowing so much about technical notions related to the study of stem cells. The writer specifies that she does a lot of reading and research on the latest news about this area. Because she looks really up to date with the current events her blog is really insightful.
The blog is really easy to navigate through, at the beginning you find a calendar of the recent events that occurred in the stem cell world. Most of the news come from newspaper or research paper which shows that Leonard is invested in the topic.
The writer also focuses on the ethical problems arising from the development of the stem cell research which is the flaming topic on debate nowadays. Leonard also mentions some juridical issues whenever stem cells was involved.
Overall it is really pleasant to read a blog that is getting constantly updated along with the progress made in the field of stem cell research. Discovering the possibility of isolating viable stem cell is a new and exciting event, but because of its recent finding, researchers still ignore a lot about the consequences such tool will have on our world. Reading summaries of the events happening in the stem cell world through Leonard's blog is an easy and simple way to have a general idea of what is currently going on in that area.

25 points. I'm glad you located a good blog on stem cell research, Stephanie, but wish you had searched even farther. Surely there must be dozens of such blogs -- some by professional research scientists in the field, for example (in addition to amateur "science watchers" like this one). Given your own expertise and interest, it might really help you to read a professional scientist's blogs on this crucial topic, both to stay abreast of new developments and as a way to observe true science-in-action.
