I can’t help checking your site several times a day for new science news. Yours is just the best of them all.
But one deficiency. If I miss my noon perusal and come back in the even or the next morning, it seems that a lot of what was posted earlier is gone. The site appears to list just a certain number of recent postings, with the earlier ones at the end of the list merely lost into the digital ether. [Actually, nothing is deleted just check out the sciencebase archives
You’ve got so much good stuff on your site I really don’t want to miss any of it, but I know that I have, in failing to keep dropping in several times a day.
My best — for your site, which is science’s best.
Sincerely,
John Blakeman

I read stuff here that I would never know about otherwise. I am a science teacher and find interesting tidbits to pass on to my students. Thanks for the great site

This [www.ReactiveReports.com] is a good site. I have a biology project and all we
need are 10 articles that have to do with life science and that are current or new articles as I believe these are. It’s a good site makes the job easier, especially when, no offense, I find this stuff boring.

Just wondered if you’d glance at my ‘blog’
and let me know if you have any thoughts.
Meanwhile, yours is bookmarked
(and possibly linked to mine) -
with your permission.
Thank you,

I’m posting a comment that was made about Sciencebase by Brandon Emig on his UPenn site - http://www.sas.upenn.edu/~bemig/sciencebase.html
“Perhaps most amazing about this site is that it seems (though not explicitly stated) that David Bradley has written all of these articles himself. This prolific science author has generated interviews, website reviews and links, as well as hundreds of articles. This site could be a great aid to any instructor wishing to impart a personal dimension to what might be an otherwise abstract subject. I highly recommend it and thank the author for this useful catalogue of excellent work.”
Just to clarify, yes, this site is all my own work. Unless specifically stated all articles are written and/or edited by me, with the obvious exception of the science press release feeds found on the Eurekalert pages for instance.

Thank you so much for writing the story about our recent paper. It was a big surprise and a great honor for us to see that article on spectroscopyNOW. It is a beautifully written story and it just could not be better! My students and I are very excited about this and we greatly appreciate your choice. If I could be of any help in the future please feel free to contact me.

It is my pleasure to announce that David Bradley won the extremely informal contest to rename my personal blog (www.vrdebenedette.blogspot.com). I am a health and medical writer, and I had started to blog about eye problems I had been having due to a benign autoinflammatory condition. Originally, I had named the blog “My Right Eye.” Then I was diagnosed with a very early stage case of endometrial cancer and started covering that in the blod, which made the first name a bit off topic. He came up with “Body Parts,” which covers topics like hysterectomies and the loss of belly buttons quite nicely. I thank him and when he is next in the United States, he gets to collect his prize of lunch.

This review from Stumbleupon user “ar0cketman” - [Sciencebase is a] Science news aggregator that doesn’t just echo PR puff pieces.
Thanks for that ar0cketman!
As, most visitors know we’re not just a science news aggregator though, we have original news, views, and interviews, as well as feature articles, science lesson plans, science experiments, a science blog or two, and science fair information.
Meanwhile, SU user “Bunnu” had this to say: “Thumbs up for u….the first person I saw with only science related topics…” and I guess that’s fairly accurate too, most of the stuff here is science oriented, but under that broad umbrella we include medical and health news and information too, as well as some pretty geeky stuff that’s not exactly science either.
To read reviews from other Stumblers check out my SU page here.

Hey Dave:
I love your blog! Your blog is an essential tool for non-scientists looking at the rhetoric of academic and popular science. Few writers are able to communicate complicated technical details to a general audience, but your blog is proof that it can be done.
THANKS!!!!

Without much explication or comment over a work that holds perfection, even a blind man should recognize it. I am so glad being given the privilege to read this. To my friend, David Bradley, I will say thumbs up….this is the perfection that is happening to the world of bloggers this season. I think all men should subscribe to this.

David,
In my last post in the comment thread for Intelligent Dawkins debate, I referred to you in the third person as ‘the moderator(s), unaware that this is your site. I apologize for that oversight, and again thank you for allowing the thread to continue even when things got hot.
You do have a great site here, and I’m afraid I’ve put it into my newsreader, so it’s likely that I’ll show up in comments again.

Well done, Mr. Bradley. You have many good sources and a knack for finding good stories. It is one of the few blogs that I read and I have tried to let others know about it. I’m always happy to find people who understand how fun science can be.
Carry on,

Dear David,
The text you wrote highlighting our work on molecular squares is really excellent, outstanding. Your text was lively and interesting, and it perfectly captured some of the current scientific challenges in supramolecular chemistry and the contributions that our work at APS made to this field. I will have no modifications to this text. Thanks for the effort and very nice job that you did in summarizing our work.
Sincerely,

In response to the post concerning the treatment of asthma with MP. I had severe childhood asthma that began to return a few years ago (I’m 45 y/o). After taking zithromax for 6 months for psoriatic arthritis, the wheezing and shortness of breath completely disappeared. I have not had the same success with the arthritis, but currently do not live close to a Dr who uses MP. I’m moving this spring and have already found a Dr to see when I get there.

Very nice site David. I’ve added it to my bookmarks and my favorites at Technorati. A lot of my artworks are inspired by science (physics) so I like reading at sites like yours.

ıt is a very nice site. Congrats!. but ı don’t find something about adult stem cells. Can you help me!
David Bradley said,
May 12, 2008 at 8:36 am
Sevtap, I’m sure some of the Eurekalert pages have had adult stem cell research, but you’re right, I don’t think I’ve covered adult stem cells personally on this site. Perhaps you could give me an indication of what information you’re after. Wikipedia would be one place to look, of course, alternatively, I believe adult stem cells have been covered on http://www.sciscoop.com
