Creation of the First Blog on Science in the Arab World

[Batir Wardam]

I would like to inform you that I have created the first bilingual Blog on Scientific policies, innovations and culture in the Arab World

http://arabscience.jeeran.com

This blog has been created as a platform for reporting on scientific advancements in the Arab World for the Arab and global audience. My focused aim is trying to reflect on the scientific challenges, innovation and creativity in the Arab World, which is always eclipsed by the violence and conflict news.

In My opinion, the Arab World faces two problems in science communication:

1- Communicating the results of global scientific innovations to the Arab audience.

2- Communicating the efforts of Arab science to the global audience.

Both problems need to be addressed urgently. While some Arab media outlets are trying to present the findings of global scientific innovations to the Arab audience, so little is being done in the opposite direction. This modest blog, based on the volunteer efforts of one writer and researcher will try to highlight news and analysis, research summaries, challenges and results of innovations from the Arab Science sphere to the people reading this blog.

The success of this blog will depend on the quality and credibility of its content, and I will try my best to provide accurate and diverse content from various sources. Contacts will be made with scientific organizations in the Arab World to assist in providing content and I hope to find some good cooperation. Your input and feedback will be essential for the future of this blog.
