The City That Researches

Posted on Monday, February 8th, 2010 at 10:26 am

Baltimore is a city of science. Many of us are educators, students, researchers, engineers, and technicians. We work at hospitals, schools, libraries, and government research institutions. Baltimoreans are surrounded by some of the greatest research in the country. From Johns Hopkins University to NASA Goddard to the University of Maryland. “The City That Reads” is a misnomer. Baltimore is “The City That Researches”.

On Bmore Scientific, I plan to talk about the global science research that affects our city and to highlight the science that’s being done in Maryland. When I first moved here, I was amazed at how little science was in Baltimore media except the various research entities’ PR publications. I want Baltimore to be proud of its science.  Science is inherently exciting! So stay tuned…
