Bloggers create kind of a popularity. But they are not the experts, and we have to understand that.

Who's to say who's an expert?

We are all experts in our own little niches.

I have friends who are science journalists, and I'm seeing stories of theirs or talking with them about ideas that they're pitching. Certain kinds of science are around me all the time, like climate change and biology.

I'm not sure blogs are necessarily the best place to get a pulse on anything. People want to blog for a variety of reasons, and that may or may not be representative.

An expert is someone who tells you why you can't do something.

Blogs are the main exception I make in my aversion to complex machinery.

I think a lot of journal articles should really be blogs.

I'm not just a scientist.
