12 Best Cell Biology Bloggers You Need to Follow

Recently, at a dinner gathering with a few of my scientist friends, I was asked what I think is the best cell biology blog. It’s hard to tell because most cell biology blogs have their own specific topic or their own “voice”. While I do not have one favorite blog, there are few I read on a regular basis.

The following is my selection of what I think are top cell biology blogs. Unfortunately, smaller blog sites have a high turnover rate, and I will try to keep this list updated to the best of my ability. If you notice a broken link, leave a comment on our facebook page. Suggestions will be appreciated.
