Why do scientists blog?

• Self-publishing. They have something to say, and no other outlet.

• Explain their work to a non-scientific audience.

• Career advancement.

• To belong to and have influence in a community.

• Challenging assertions made in mainstream media.

• Campaigning and raising awareness.

• Technical blogging and open lab notebooks.

• Conference/event blogging.
