Announcements from ErrantScience
Phew, August was a hot one here in the UK! Despite melting in the heat, we managed to pull together some pretty good blog posts. In my post I talked about freelancing, and the challenges facing science communicators (and other freelancers) when charging for work. Matthew’s blog post was a Read more…
As you may or not know, each month we feature a guest writer on ErrantScience. We started doing this because as much as I love the sound of my own typing I thought everyone would like to have a more diverse voice to their articles. Since starting that 2 years Read more…
