Discovery Institute 'Blogosphere'

The term 'blog', little known by the general public a few years ago, has become the latest addition to the American lexicon. In that time, blogs - personal, internet-based journals - have become a useful tool in conveying and delivering commentary and analysis to a broad national, and even international, audience. They are uniquely effective because they allow authors and commentators the opportunity to provide unfiltered analysis of the days' news.

We are pleased to direct you to several blogs by Discovery Institute fellows - accessible from our website. Please note that the views expressed on these blogs are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the opinions or positions of Discovery Institute as a whole.

Discovery Blog
Author: Bruce Chapman

"Discovery Blog" is the Internet home to Discovery Institute general interests, especially those not covered by other blogs. Discovery President Bruce Chapman is the lead, but not sole, author of discoveryblog.org.


Russia Blog
Authors: Yuri Mamchur

Russia Blog presents up-to-date news, facts and commentary on the state of events in Russia and the former Soviet Union. The Blog is created and managed by Yuri Mamchur, a Foreign Policy Fellow with the Discovery Institute.


Disco-Tech
Primary Authors: Hance Haney, Bret Swanson

Disco-Tech offers commentary and analysis on issues pertaining to technology, with a special focus on telecommunications deregulation, broadband deployment and new technologies. The blog also explores the impact of technology on a host of issues ranging from the economy to education to transportation.


Cascadia Prospectus
Primary Author: Matt Rosenberg

The blog of Seattle-based Cascadia Center provides a future-oriented take on regional transportation, economic development and energy. Cascadia staff and fellows offer related news commentary and perspective, drawing from the Northwest, and the world.


Secondhand Smoke
Author: Wesley J. Smith

Secondhand Smoke considers issues involving assisted suicide/euthanasia, bioethics, human cloning, biotechnology, and the dangers of animal rights/liberation. Wesley's views expressed on the site, as in his books and other writings, reflect his understanding that the philosophy of human exceptionalism is the bedrock of universal human rights. Or, to put it another way: human life matters.


Intelligent Design - The Future
Authors: CSC Fellows

This blog explores issues central to the case for intelligent design, from the Big Bang to the bacterial flagellum and beyond. Contributors include Michael Behe, William Dembski, Stephen Meyer, Jay Richards and other fellows of Discovery Institute's Center for Science and Culture.


Evolution News and Views
Authors: CSC Fellows and Staff

The misreporting of the evolution issue is one key reason for this new blog. The news media in the U.S. seem to have rediscovered the evolution controversy recently. Unfortunately, much of the news coverage has been sloppy, inaccurate, and in several cases, overtly biased. Contributors include Rob Crowther, John West, Jonathan Witt and Seth Cooper, among others.


Letter From the Capitol
Author: John Wohlstetter

This blog provides analysis pertaining to war, security, economic and cultural issues. The blog is authored by Discovery Institute Senior Fellow John Wohlstetter, author of The Long War Ahead and the Short War Upon Us.
