The Angry Toxicologist is a full-fledged Ph.D. scientist in the public health sector, according to his or her own self-description. There is no first or last name to reference this claim with, but it's probably fair to presume that if Seed is publishing the blog, this 'scientist' is real enough. The blog itself is a very enlightening read, despite the fact that AT's positions on some subjects have rankled fellow SciBloggers to no end. Of course, it's safe to say that the nay-sayers probably don't have the qualifications in these areas to inflict any serious wounds. Complaining about what they don't know (as if they DID know) is, alas, what many of Seed's SciBloggers do best. AT's knowledgeable coverage of issues that directly concern regular people is refreshing. The topics are important, the writing accessible, and the attitude quite educational. A bookmark-worthy resource.
Matthew Nisbet is a social scientist whose specialty is strategic communications in scientific and environmental controversies, but he's not shy of politics either.
Journalist Eric Berger covers science news with the sensitivity of a comedy writer for SNL, while still managing to convey the details of real scientific research and offering links to those who want to take things a lot more seriously than he's able to muster.
Geologist Chris Rowan of the University of Johannesburg offers a nice mix of geological knowledge, "geopuzzles," stratigraphy (understanding the different strata in different geographic areas), geomagnetism and knowledge of various minerals that anyone who likes rocks and landforms will enjoy.
Ph.D. student Karen Ventii's expertise in biochemistry has not overshadowed her considerable skills in science journalism. She writes deftly and succinctly without omitting the most interesting details or skewing the perspectives, demonstrating the value of good communications skills as teaching device. Ventii covers science news across the spectrum, but shines most brightly on subjects of biology and medicine where her understanding adds real depth to the raw material. Science To Life deserves to be among Seed's most popular SciBlogs, but Ventii's style is so accessible that you won't find the hundreds of sniping comments the most popular ones boast. Which is nice if you're looking to learn something useful instead of pick a fight. Highly recommended.
