Life of Science is a news portal for interesting and ground breaking science in the biological, medical and pharmaceutical fields. We publish two kind of articles. Short news articles that explains recent research results published in scientific journals in a concise manner and longer feature articles that explore current topics in depth. The hope is to stimulate
Life of Science is aimed at people with an interest, but not necessarily a background, in science. Articles should be understandable to most people having followed science and biology classes at secondary school. The articles, however, occasionally use scientific jargon, but when such words are used, they are linked to an explanation given in the dictionary section. However, it is also our hope that articles published on this site will be of interests to life science students and researchers wishing to be kept informed about general findings as well as science journalists. Furthermore, by writing about some of the fascinating research going in the life sciences, we attempt to stimulate the interest for life science among young persons in the hope of attracting them to a career in science. The team behind Life of Science includes
