Irish scientists seem to be a particularly shy species.
Unlike their counterparts elsewhere, who will blog at the drop of a hat, scientists in Ireland are keeping a low profile. Perhaps they are just too busy doing research and writing reports? Or perhaps they are blogging anonymously??
I've started a list of science bloggers over at my Science@Culture bulletin, but have found very few Irish ones. Those I have tripped over include a teacher, TV producer, UCD's science librarians (!) and, intriguingly, someone from within the walls of Science Foundation Ireland. But no researchers as of yet.
If you know of any, do pass on the details. I'm keen to make this a comprehensive list of Irish science blogs.

I am doing a PhD in Physics. But tend not to blog that much about it. Mainly about politics and the like. Although have not much time for that either these days. The main Irish ones I know are

and http://www.sliabh.net/
Thanks Simon-- both are good sites, and I hadn't come across them before. I've added them to my science blog list over at

Great idea, but do you mean Irish scientists or scientists in Ireland? Well, either way, there's me at http://baoilleach.blogspot.com (cheminformatics).
