Hi Mary,
Happy to go on the sceince bloggers list!

Hello there,
Just to say that I am very greatful to have found your blog. I check it every day, and find it most informative and interesting.
Please keep up your fantastic work.
Hi Mary
Love your blog and always look forward to the next instalment.
I’m the coordinator for the Maths and Stats Service Teaching Community of Practice (within the NDLR). We have started up a (rather mundane compared to your own!) “Course Story” blog at
http://www.ndlr.ie/mshe/?cat=10
The idea is to talk about a particular course as it develops, with links to any materials used in the course. By the end of a course story there should be a full set of teaching materials embedded in a discussion about how things went, what worked/didn’t work and so on.
cheers

Hi Mary,
I’ve been enjoying your blog since I stumbled upon it recently. Since late last year I’ve been blogging about science (mostly biology, but anything that catches my interest really).
Can you add me to the blog list?
