Really proud to see Bec Crew of the Save Your Breath for Running Ponies! blog has won the Best Australian Science Blog prize for Australia’s Science Week!!
(Not just because I’d said that I’d dye my hair if I won, and now I don’t have to! Wahoo!)
Ms Crew, who is based in Sydney and has been blogging for about 10 months on fascinating, left-field animal discoveries, takes out The Big Blog Theory national title for the best blogger contributing to the communication and understanding of science online.
Ms Crew, 26, was chosen as one of 10 national finalists by a panel of four judges. Running Ponies then attracted the most online votes of the finalist’s blogs.
“I’m so excited and more than a little stunned that my little blog could win this competition. I look up to all of the other finalists as exceptional science communicators and I’m happy just to be considered in the same league as them,’’ Ms Crew said today.
Inspired to write about bizarre animal, insect and dinosaur discoveries, Ms Crew was determined to show the public that it was important to challenge themselves with science and have fun with it.
It was Digital Cuttlefish who first told me to check out her blog and it’s been one of the best reads I have in my bloglist – so go check it out and definitely check out her blogging as she tours Australia for Science Week!
