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.

I felt that this article was particularly well written because of how conversational the author was with the reader. The conversational aspect allows the scientific aspect of the article to be better understood, in a way. The use of a video was also allowed for a better understanding of the physics.

I was thinking about doing this one! I curled for a couple of winters, and always wondered about the weirdly illogical physics of curling stones. Unfortunately, the nearest curling club is 3 hours away in Knoxville...

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 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 article was very well written because at first it has a nice captivating introduction and title. The author goes on to explain the concepts in the most technical manner, but then he takes a step back and goes back to the reader's level in order to facilitate the reader's understanding if he or she does not have much knowledge on the topic. All in all, the article introduced a very interesting discovery about human evolution.

This article is interesting because the author makes an unusual comparison (between a controversial art piece and the far reaches of space) in order to make his point. Despite the differences between these two topics he melds them together in order to show the reader a new way of thinking about the concept of nothing.

I thought this post was well written. It was short and concise but was well organized and polished. I also liked that it wasn't too informal. The pseudo-scientific explanations for the malformation were very interesting.

This blog incorporates both researched information and personal anecdote in a well-balanced, entertaining manner. The topic is new information to me, and I would assume most readers, and was presented compellingly. The photo was also a nice addition!

What really drew me to this article was how interesting the author made the subject sound. They hooked me right away by presenting something we usually consider to be ordinary as extraordinary. Additionally, the authors voice was really present and interesting throughout the whole article which is something that I really need to learn from. Also, once I got to the end I realized how well the article was organized. The title and initial premise wrapped right back up at the end with the experiment with spoons of different metal types. All in all, this article was well written; it was well organized, intriguing, and also concise.

Essentially, this paper goes through the types of gait recognition software that currently exist as well as the reliability of this software. There are a lot of different elements that influence a persons gait (like terrain, shoes, fatigue, etc.), which effects how well the software works. It's a pretty heavy read but it's really interesting if you want to just jump to a certain section and read in depth. This technology is very much out there and in development, and it is definitely being improved upon. Also, even though this paper is a little bit older, it is still being cited in a lot of more recent research papers and I thought it would give a good enough grasp on the science for our purposes.
