Blogs are one of the latest tools that scientists use to communicate their ideas to other scientists or to the general public. But who are the science bloggers and why do they blog?

The roles, reasons and restrictions of science blogs
John S. Wilkins

Over the past few years, blogging (‘web logging’) has become a major social movement, and as such includes blogs by scientists about science. Blogs are highly idiosyncratic, personal and ephemeral means of public expression, and yet they contribute to the current practice and reputation of science as much as, if not more than, any popular scientific work or visual presentation. It is important, therefore, to understand this phenomenon.





Who blogs? Personality predictors of blogging

The Big Five personality inventory measures personality based on five key traits: neuroticism, extraversion, agreeableness, openness to experience, and conscientiousness [Costa, P. T., Jr., & McCrae, R. R. (1992). Normal personality assessment in clinical practice: The NEO Personality Inventory. Psychological Assessment 4, 5–13]. There is a growing body of evidence indicating that individual differences on the Big Five factors are associated with different types of Internet usage [Amichai-Hamburger, Y., & Ben-Artzi, E. (2003). Loneliness and Internet use. Computers in Human Behavior 19, 71–80; Hamburger, Y. A., & Ben-Artzi, E. (2000). Relationship between extraversion and neuroticism and the different uses of the Internet. Computers in Human Behavior 16, 441–449]. Two studies sought to extend this research to a relatively new online format for expression: blogging. Specifically, we examined whether the different Big Five traits predicted blogging. The results of two studies indicate that people who are high in openness to new experience and high in neuroticism are likely to be bloggers. Additionally, the neuroticism relationship was moderated by gender indicating that women who are high in neuroticism are more likely to be bloggers as compared to those low in neuroticism whereas there was no difference for men. These results indicate that personality factors impact the likelihood of being a blogger and have implications for understanding who blogs.

Aborto: um passo por vez

Alguns leitores me perguntaram minha opinião sobre a questão do aborto. Isso é motivado por alguns dados novos no cenário político-cultural, a saber: 1. Minha candidata, Marina Silva, não tem uma posição pró-choice na questão. 2. Os petistas Luis Bassuma e Henrique Afonso sofreram sanções do PT por defender uma posição similar à de Marina Silva. Ver blog de Henrique Afonso aqui . 3. Muitas pessoas progressistas socialmente, feministas etc. (exemplo, meu irmão Marcelo R. Kinouchi) estão em dúvida na questão do aborto. Explico: historicamente falando, a esquerda tem batalhado para ampliar a defesa dos direitos daqueles que não têm voz nem direitos. Assim, primeiro se defendeu os "direitos" (que não são direitos de pessoas jurídicas na época, elas nem eram consideradas "pessoas humanas integrais") dos escravos, dos negros, dos trabalhadores, das mulheres, dos índios, dos portadores de deficiências físicas, dos pacientes psiquiátricos, dos portadores de Síndrome de Down...

 Do New Scientist: The surprising truth about why adults make children believe in Santa Children are savvier than we thought, so why do so many of them believe in Father Christmas? Answering that question reveals a lot about child psychology, and even more about adults MIND  16 December 2020 By  David Robson The rituals we build around Santa may be more for our benefit than for our children’s ©Martin Parr/Magnum Photos ROHAN KAPITÁNY was 7 when he started to question the existence of Santa Claus. Every Christmas, like many Australian kids, he had left out an apple and a carrot for the reindeer and a cold beer for the man himself – and every year, he found half-eaten snacks and an empty glass alongside a pile of presents the next day. But Kapitány had started having doubts. With his scepticism growing, he even hatched a plan to check his parents’ ATM receipts. “That was the beginning of the end, or the end of the beginning, of my belief in Santa,” he says. Two decades late...
