Scientific American In Blog Removal Controversy

Posted by samzenpus on Sunday October 13, 2013 @10:15AM from the take-a-deep-breath dept.

Lasrick writes "Danielle N. Lee, Ph.D, the Urban Scientist blogger at Scientific American, has been mistreated twice: once by the blog editor at biology-online.org and now by SciAm itself. The blog editor asked Dr. Lee to contribute a blog post at Biology-Online, and when she declined (presumably for lack of monetary compensation), the blog editor asked her whether she was 'an urban scientist or an urban whore.' Then, SciAm deleted her blog post, in which she wrote about the incident."

so Biology-online is mostly what we'd call an urban click-whore?

It's like an Urban Whore but costs more and she insists you take her to a fancy restaurant first.
