HIV and HIV, Not a Typo

One of the best post on the main site is about the hiv mechanism for entry into helper T-cells For an extra added bonus Soumashree covers the other “HIV” Human Influenza Virus. This post has been on a roll with search engines anything from “learning about viruses” to “how does HIV work” are landing on the main site.

All importantly is how to avoid over scheduling. Several strategies exist but the most important thing to remember is that you can’t “make” time. Finding it is pretty hard too, but definitely can’t make any, not even physicists have figured out how to do that. Or even what time really is; crazy right? The smartest people on the planet have not the slightest clue as to what time is.

The hottest debate on the planet comes down to religion vs science. I proclaimed science the winner, but was not too clear myself. It seems that science doesn’t even exist with religion; it is a form of religion in fact.  Today the priests of M-theory and Monks of Standard Model are prepping an all out battle for the control console to the universe.

Of course, my favorite subject is science writing services. It’s how I live and contribute the world around me. My essential practice is not to discuss science terms or debate with the physicists. It is to use scienc to write, a new color to the pedestal. Many people have this color but fear using it or use it improper. Like red and white, to get a quiescent pink you must carefully add the slightest amount of red to enough white for the whole painting.  

Blogging about what I do as a science writer is not always easy. Many days I do very little as a science writer, but I do a lot with publishing and marketing my writing. I try to do everything “in house” so I have learned enough to self publish books and set up membership sites. The newest science writing has been focusing on personal experiences with science, health has many stories from normal people who have never stepped a foot in a college classroom, but are more intelligible than some doctors cutting on patients right now.

The website I have developed also has become an excellent place to find science writing resources. I recently started a page to list them all, provided by me and guests who make comments. The best resource I have found comes from Duke University; they have a complete guide that I will refer all future students to, in order to get over the basics, necessary to start a science writing career.

In the mean time, and time is very mean, I have received ample experience in time management. So to avoid over scheduling I decided to make a quick to do list, which I posted on the website as awesome freebie for all fans. Three special steps, like any child knows, works well for all. This article was designed for a wider audience, so if science is not your thing, I can draw you in with a time management article and sneak some science up my selves in the mean time.

Possibly my favorite, although I throw that word around, science related subject to inform audiences of is that involving alternative energy. The green lifestyle that many are preaching today will become the common culture of future generations. Like, rock-n-roll was for some still alive, the green movement is to the current leader generation of our nations. It also has been receiving the right amount of disregard and degradation to achieve a brutal success, again compare with the history of rock-n-roll movement.

A major part of freelance writing services is that of SEO. The fact that search engines are the most likely source of targeted “free” traffic cannot be overlooked when writing an online article. There are quite a few rules to look into if you want to conquer the science of SEO. Meta tags and back-links are two important factors. Along with onsite SEO and high quality offsite SEO, the efforts to maintain a constant feed from search engines are impeccable and ever-challenging.

It is a Mother’s Day celebration for some but I am writing science for all. There is no need to take a day off from something you love. It is like trying to stop eating or breathing. The awesome science writing services I provide for companies, magazines, and newsrooms come from this love, for sure. Right now and forever more I reckon, I am working on two books with several students I train and marketing for the best science writing jobs available, freelance, of course.

Freeing up the power of science

Who can forget Einstein? Probably nobody at least for quite some time yet, like until the end of civilization itself. Why is that, why does he make such a difference in ours lives.?

He never explained science entirely well, no; Einstein was not a science writer. He was a scientist, big difference. Many scientists have a communications issue, in fact Einstein was considered an autistic child as he never said a single word until he was four.

Learning about the awesome power of the sun is called, astronomy; well, other sciences get involved too. To study a solar flare involves biology, chemistry, physics, astronomy, math, human psychology and more.  There is so much science, that studying the sun’s activity has become its own science, let’s call it solar meteorology. This is Nisha’s favorite subject to write about, one of my “star” pupils.

Freelance science can be a tricky subject. Many experiments and endeavors, like the Hutchinson experiments, are too hard to duplicate and are often performed under the worst possible laboratory condition, due to a lack in both funding and understanding of methodology. One special subject, cold fusion, has made a new impact though. Even though the original experimental results were never duplicated, new techniques are showing how the scientists’ (Stanley Pons and Martin Fleischmann) lab could have actually created them, in a fluke like environment.

 The science of origami (yes, the science of the art of folding) has become very popular in the last decade. Origami has helped every field and industry from molecular biology to cosmology. Many new folding techniques are being work on everyday by packing scientists and other engineers needing to cram a big object into a tiny space.

Science writing services are the wave of the future. The days of not knowing science are over. Just to get out of bed, I taught of the science of sleeping, “hypnology”, the science of walking, called kinesiology. The amount of information being developed everyday is also staggering. This makes for an inversed “double whammy” for the science writing industry more jobs and more job sources. There is one downside and that is: the more people that learn science the more competition these science writing service providers will have..

PC: My favorite

Many magazines are pushing this new form of global communications further, like Design News, telling the average scientist, technologist or engineer that they can make their idea, intention, or patent to the market they desire and to other marketing they never thought about too. Perhaps a book about PC vs Mac or pushing a new writing utensil to market, magazines and other communications are becoming easier to access.

Engineering writing is what I do best. Many ask me what that is , and I tell them I make nuts and bolts interesting. I recently wrote one for Rotor Clip soon to be published. I will let you know when it, of course. They are a manufacturer or retaining rings. Yup, I made retaining rings fun, for engineers that is.

Science in America has changed dramatically over the last decade. The only thing that hasn’t change is the way many think they can receive science. Many online sources have emerged from the latest scientists, like Dr. Susskind, who does Youtube videos on physics, that are changing American by the minute.

Writing about science always has its challenges. A recent investigation into viral entry, showed how over coming those challenges of communications results in excellent looking online articles. A student of mine presented a well researched article but needed the proper guidance to make it the 500 page view a day dozy it became. A little professional touch can go a long way.

I cannot imagine a time in human history without access to science. Science writing services are now making even the “ordinary Joe” able to tell the world about “himself”. There are many ways to write about science and that is why science writing services are so helpful. They specialize at knowing how to write science to a specific audience. The science and the audience change but the services are the same.
