[open-science] Who writes on open science in mainstream press?

Thu Sep 22 19:43:53 UTC 2011

David Dobbs (Atlantic, Wired &c) is both generally sympathetic and wrote a nice general piece on Open Science a while back (focussing on Jon Eisen). I think there is much more general coverage in the US than in the UK. I would guess we have a relatively limited number of science journalists working professionally in the UK and open science would be a small part of what they are trying to cover.
