To start off this blog I would like to invite you to navigate trough a very interesting website:
http://www.senseaboutscience.org.uk/
This is the website of a UK charity – or as we’d say in Portuguese “associação sem fins lucrativos” (“non profit association”) which I find much more appropriate because it has a wider meaning.
I find they are doing a very positive work on gathering information for the general public about science and scientific facts. Especially they aim to untangle the pseudo-scientific claims which grow like weeds nowadays and make unaware buyers spend money on expensive and ineffective junk.
They’re the “good science” defenders, which I find to be a very welcome and long time needed action! Though I myself never was much of an activist, I might just become one for this purpose.

Have fun, becoming an aware customer and citizen.

Olá Muna
Descobri por acaso este teu blog. Espero que estejas bem; pelo que escreves, pareces bem.
Na continuidade da recomendação da página que sugeriste (bem interessante, por sinal), recomendo outro em troca, que costumo ler com regularidade: de rerum natura:
http://dererummundi.blogspot.com
É escrito a várias mãos, por um físico, uma química, um filósofo, um biólogo, um matemático, uma pedagoga e uma bióloga. Os artigos são muitos, alguns bastante polémicos, mas quase sempre interessantes.
