RE: Why Do Scientists Blog, Who Is The Audience And How Can Steemit Play A Role?

Compared to face to face science communication, blogging is very different.

When communicating face to face you can gauge the reaction of the person and it helps identify which way to proceed in communicating.

With blogging, you must catch attention and keep it through an entire post, hoping that how it is written suits the readers taste.

At Science festivals we are armed with big posters, tables full of interesting objects, and smiling faces ready to engage. Here we have only a picture, title, and a few words to grab attention. It's hard to grab attention. However, we only have to influence the right people and we could help pave the way for a new pioneer in science. This is what I hope for anyway.

Thanks @justtryme90, you gave me something to consider. Good day :)
