The AGA Blog publishes posts by our authors and members on recent papers in the Journal of Heredity, by AGA awardees on their research, and on other topics in line with the AGA mission to encourage the study of comparative genetics and genomics in order to document, conserve, and manage organismal diversity.
The AGA blog provides an inclusive forum for science communication. "Getting your foot in the door" for popular science writing and blogging can be daunting. However, at the AGA Blog, we welcome all science communicators, from those who have never blogged before to seasoned pros.
