Field of Science is an independent science blog network powered by Blogger. Each blogger on FoS is free to run their own advertising on their blog, but the network itself is not for profit. Although part of a network, bloggers on FoS exercise complete editorial freedom and own their blogs and content. There are no requirements, quotas or restrictions.

FoS's blogs are the most customizable and flexible blogs of any science blog network. They are also the most reliable and benefit from a constant stream of cutting edge innovations. You would be hard pressed to find better hosting and tech support anywhere, much less on another science blog network. This is because FoS relies on Google tools to fulfill its hosting and tech support needs.

Joining FoS is exceedingly easy, seamless and efficient. We take your existing blogspot blog and redirect it to publish at a fieldofscience.com address. By using this method, not only do you keep your current blog, you keep everything else as well, (same logins, permissions, dashboard, hosting, etc). In addition, your readers, links to your blog, pagerank and feeds are all automatically forwarded to your blog's new home at FoS. Use the contact form to inquire further.

FoS is a professionally run, highly regarded science blog network.
