Want to blog under the prestigious Nature banner? Here’s an opportunity for you.

The Scitablesciencebloggingnetwork, from Nature Education, Nature Publishing Group’s educational division, aims to provide interesting and exciting science to students but also to science enthusiasts. The network hosts some great science bloggers and blogs. One of those blogs is StudentVoices (SV), the group blog which hosts an array of science bloggers with a myriad of thoughts and views about science. Great news is SV is recruiting.

Addressing all budding science bloggers and science writing enthusiasts! As blog manager of StudentVoices(SV), the ever-popular community blog of student science writers at Scitable, an endeavor of Nature Education, the educational division of Nature Publishing Group (NPG), I am writing to present you with a unique opportunity to write for us! SV is a group blog comprising a number of young and talented student bloggers, many of whom have recently ‘graduated’ from SV to pursue careers as professional bloggers and journalists! SV is proud to have helped these student bloggers build their careers, and to see them moving on. But now we need new Voices! We are currently looking for new science bloggers to join our team as others leave for new challenges.

At SV, we write whatever strikes our fancy as science enthusiasts and young scientists. YOU will be the voice of our student community science. Writing when you want (more or less), what you want and with the guidance of our fantastic editors and technology personnel. This is a great opportunity for you to extend your voice into the more prestigious branches of the science blogosphere.

So what are you waiting for! Tweet me, @FromTheLabBench, or e-mail me at pbrow 11@tigers .lsu .edu to pitch a story for SV! If we like what you write, your post will go up on the blog and before you know it, you will be writing for us on the reg’!

Hope to hear from you soon,

It’s Time to Stand Up for Science

If you enjoyed this article, I’d like to ask for your support. Scientific American has served as an advocate for science and industry for 180 years, and right now may be the most critical moment in that two-century history.

I’ve been a Scientific American subscriber since I was 12 years old, and it helped shape the way I look at the world. SciAm always educates and delights me, and inspires a sense of awe for our vast, beautiful universe. I hope it does that for you, too.

If you subscribe to Scientific American, you help ensure that our coverage is centered on meaningful research and discovery; that we have the resources to report on the decisions that threaten labs across the U.S.; and that we support both budding and working scientists at a time when the value of science itself too often goes unrecognized.

In return, you get essential news, captivating podcasts, brilliant infographics, can't-miss newsletters, must-watch videos, challenging games, and the science world's best writing and reporting. You can even gift someone a subscription.

There has never been a more important time for us to stand up and show why science matters. I hope you’ll support us in that mission.

Thank you,

David M. Ewalt, Editor in Chief, Scientific American
