As we begin a new academic year, here's a reminder of some of the invaluable blogs and resources available online for those interested in all things science and literature:
BSLS book reviews
The fantastic archive of reviews by members of the British Society for Literature and Science is an excellent means of keeping up with recent publications and also a superb starting-point for new research topics. See it here.
ConSciCom
Updates from the Constructing Scientific Communities team can be found on their blog here, including details of events and current research projects. Recent postings include songs about vaccination, and a sketchnote of a recent seminar.
Journal of Literature and Science
It's always worth looking at what's being published in this journal, but especially interesting are its reviews of academic articles where scholars comment on recent work in the field.
SciFiMedHums
The blog of the Science Fiction and the Medical Humanities project is here: of particular interest is their call for contributions to an online bibliography of sources in the area.
The H word
The Guardian blog run by Vanessa Heggie and Rebekah Higgitt often includes posts relevant to sci-lit scholars; for instance, its recent post on spider silk.
Twitter
Follow the #scilit or #litsci hashtags for updates from conferences, research-in-progress, and more.
Unsettling Scientific Stories
'Blogging the history of the future', as their tagline has it, which includes reading lists, analysis, project updates, and radioactive discoveries.
Whewell's Gazette
If you haven't already subscribed to Thony Christie's excellent weekly digest of all things history of science, technology, medicine, and more, then do so immediately! Many items of sci-lit interest are included each week, including information about plays, films, and exhibitions.
