Anne-Marie Hodge, a UNC Wilmington biology graduate student, is receiving national attention for her scientific research as well as her science communication skills. As part of a prestigious National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship, Hodge studies carnivores in the Ecuadorean jungle at UNC Wilmington and Francis Marion University's new biological research station.
Meanwhile, she manages a blog titled "Endless Forms" for the Nature network, a social networking group affiliated with Nature magazine. Focusing on emerging data in the fields of ecology, biology and wildlife conservation, Hodge gets blog ideas from scientific journals, magazines and newspaper articles. She started her first blog as a freshman at Auburn University.
"I would read an exciting science news story or journal article and then want to talk about it, so it was a way for me to do that and to get to know other people interested in similar topics," Hodge says.
Her blog attracted the attention of Bora Zivkovic, senior blog editor at Scientific American.
