I am so happy to finally be able to blog about this!  I'll give you a little backstory first.  I've always been a science geek.  I wanted to be a paleontologist when I was five.  I studied Anthropology and Geology as an undergrad and got a Masters degree in Quaternary Paleoecology and Global Climate Change later.  So when I saw Neville Hobson's post about needing a science writer, I had an e-mail going to him before the pixels had even settled on my screen.
 
I'll be writing about achievements in European Science for the European Science Foundation (ESF).  This is an opportunity through Neville and Fredrik Wackå.  I am so, so excited.  My mom is happy that I'm finally using my degrees (okay I am too), but the story is really deeper than that.  It comes down to the title of this post, your blogging resume.  Neville and Fredrik both focused on this aspect as too—NevOn- The new trust changes everything -CorporateBloggingBlog- Blogging works- A personal success story—learning about me through what I've already written, plus my background made me a successful candidate.  I've never met Neville, Fredrik or my other co-writersStuart andDrew in person.  I don't know if I ever well—being that I live in Western Canada and they are all in Europe—but that's okay.  Neville, Fredrik, and I have Skyped several times.  I have Stuart and Drew now on my Skype list as well.  Heck I even have a London, UK (as compared to London, Ontario) SkypeIn number (020 7871 5724 or 020 7871 5SCI)!
 
Blog Ads by ChitikaSo not only am I really looking forward to writing about science, but this is a great example of how your blog can serve as an online resume and stepping stone to more and better work.
 
I will post when my first article is written and online.  It will be "spacey" ;-).
