It's Okay To Be Smart

Love Science? - Join Us . . .

Why not become a contributor to tumblr’s science section? Simply by A.) Turning your current blog into a mainly science (which can encompass a plethora of subjects like Astronomy, Physics, Neuroscience, Biology, Psychology, Animals, etc.) or you can B.) Create a side blog strictly for science posts, or hey even both if you love science that much. And then just start tagging away. Make sure you tag your science related posts (could be humor, informational, images, literature, quotes, etc.) under Science so that editors and contributors can easily find your post. Remember, the more relevant the tags the better.

I’m encouraging people to become science contributors because I noticed not too long ago that while tumblr has featured tags on many things like GIF, Illustration, Art, Games, Comics and more with top notch feedback [as shown below] Science has been lacking. If a tag like LOL gets second place to GIFs with a 5 out 5 feedback you know there’s a really sad disposition going on. And I want to help excel the tag into better feedback from the tumblr community by encouraging Sci-Enthusiasts, Bedroom scientists, Student scientists and real scientists to come join us in changing that feedback and bringing the quality posts and a quality sub-community of science up. So this is a call to those currently following me (and whomever reads this) to come join our community and let’s show people that tumblr can also be a community where Science thrives with flying colors.

DO THIS.

ONE OF US, ONE OF US, ONE OF US …

Why just be satisfied with reading our science blogs when it’s so easy to start your own? You know you’re already out there loving science every day, and you probably post plenty about it. Tag it with #Science and help spread the science-y love.

I mean it when I say that it’s important for all of us to communicate science to the people we know, every day. You can help. You make a difference, because people that like and respect you will like and respect what you are interested in. And in doing so, science-love is spread.
