Science Museum of Minnesota Buzz Blog

I am being paid to create content and moderate comments on the Science Museum of Minnesota's Buzz Blog. What a sweet job. I can even do everything from my home computer. This page tracks posts by ARTiFactor. The front page of Buzz has links to daily feeds from their current science RSS aggregator. Readers can also ask scientists questions about doing science. One, Kristi Curry Rogers, Curator of Paleontology at the Science Museum, answers questions about giant dinosaurs in Madagascar.
