I am in transition between full-time faculty to part-time research consultant. I filed my fictitious name–Aging Research Group–with the State of Florida, purchased two website addresses (.com and .org), and I am working on a website that will be launched in August, after I leave my academic job.I am fascinated with blogs although I only occasionally read them. Along with myspace, blogs appear to be the ultimate purpose of the internet–a forum to introduce yourself and your ideas to the world, unfiltered. As a social scientist who understands the importance of peer reviewed research, I worry that any old ideas will be accepted as truth. As a social scientist who knows that all knowledge is the hypothesis for what is examined next, I think that blogging may be a way to identify new ways of thinking about our discipline. In this case, the field of aging studies or gerontology.
