I found this article to be well written and interesting because of the conversational and casual way it was written. The idea that one needs to remove all pronouns from scientific writing is one that is hammered into students from high school science day 1, yet may not be true. This was not written in the way that I was taught to write about science, however, it was both easy to read and informative. The casual writing style of science blogs may influence other writing standards of other areas of science in the future.

I thought this was a well written article because the author is informative without being too dry in her descriptions. Blogs do tend to be more conversational and this one is no exception. The academic focus on this relatively historic topic is still present, but the article is written for a wider audience than the academic community.

I feel this article is well written for a few reasons. If has the feel of telling a story but remains formal and in the style of academic writing at the same time. The flow of the post is very well done also as each paragraph logically leads into the next. Lastly, the post concludes very well tying in everything the post discusses and how they relate to science in the world today.

This writer did a good job of keeping an informal tone without being too casual. It was an easy read and they connected the topic to other areas of science. The little bit of humor was a really nice touch too!

This blog post was a very entertaining and read. The concept that the reason people get scammed because of their strengths (trust in authority/desire to follow) and not our weaknesses is a bit mind boggling. It was very well written and kept me interested throughout the entire post.

This resource provides access to articles, news, and blog posts regarding military embedded systems, often using cryptography. One article referenced the cryptography used to secure "Data at Rest" and the length at which this information should be held secure. Is it ethical to keep this information from the public when safety is no longer a concern? At what point should these well-kept secrets become accessible?
