  • About The Student Blog

    The PLOS Student Blog is a forum for the next generation of science writers. Starting in the 2012-13 academic year, we're turning this blog site on our network over to talented student writers currently studying a science discipline at the undergrad or graduate level or in a Masters Level science communication program. Your comments are invited and will be answered by the individual bloggers. If you are interested in becoming a student contributor, please send an inquiry with a sample blog post to blogs@plos.org
