SciBraai.co.za is a blog about South African science and scientists, and it encourages local scientists to share their own research in laymen's terms. Thoughts?
I think it is great! Often scientists can be too cagey about their work when talking to other scientists, and reluctant to explain their work to laypersons. This is a great forum for scientific debate, and to justify to tax payers how publicly funded research is benefiting us all.
