History of science

[npts2020]

I am writing short daily biographies of people born on the date I publish them. The bios are oriented toward scientists and mathematicians but may also sometimes include inventors, composers or artists. Would it be worthwhile for me to put them on Scienceforums? If so, what would be the proper place for them? Thanks in advance for your feedback.

I would love to see you do this. It sounds like a blog on SFN but I'm a bit new here to give advice.

If you are looking for discussions then these biographies could be placed in the forums; multiple similar posts are not really the best for a discussion forum. Also I am not sure what section these should be posted in. Maybe the Lounge as the discussion is about scientists and not the science. However, if you are not really looking for a discussion then a blog would be better. You can start a blog via this forum if you wish.

 

It sounds interesting and so make sure we do know about it via these forums if you start a blog elsewhere.

I already have a blog here (Engineering the Future) which has kind of reached a conclusion and I would prefer not to mix the biography posts with the automated transit posts. Am completely open to discussions but feel that the bios will be more informative than discussion oriented. The problem is that I am not sure if I can start another blog since it keeps putting me into my original one when I go to blogs. I do agree, however, that the blog format is probably best for those interested in reading the stuff. Thanks again for the feedback, guys.

Let us know if you can get a second blog for I couldn't tell that the blog "Engineering the future" was part of SFN.

Either I can't get another blog or am just not smart enough to figure out how to do it. Whenever I hit the "sign up" tab it just automatically kicks me over to the original blog. I guess I could just create another screen name but having two screen names is sort of frowned upon by some here, including myself.

I guess for now, the historical posts will just be on the RePeace USA page on facebook. The most recent biographies were Evangelista Torricelli, Albrecht von Haller, Paul Bernays, Harvey Washington Wiley and Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar. Tomorrow will be Vannoccio Biringuccio.
