Calling all palaeo bloggers! Do you want to write for the Guardian science blog network?

Under the guidance of our resident expert Dr Dave Hone, we're starting a new palaeontology blog, and we're looking for exceptional writers to expand our coverage

The Guardian Science Blog Network recently turned five years old, and to mark the occasion, we asked our readers what they thought of the network, and whether there was anything they would like us to consider in looking towards the future. The comments we received were insightful, thoughtful, and at times, fascinating, and we hope to be taking many of them on board over the course of the next year.

One point to come out of the discussions surrounding that survey was to expand the palaeontology content on the blog network. Our resident Lost Worlds blogger, Dr Dave Hone, is doing a fantastic job of providing expert insights into the latest research about dinosaurs and pterosaurs, but palaeontology covers a wealth of other areas of prehistory - the Earth's autobiography also includes significant chapters on plants, mammals, and invertebrates. And let's not forget museums; just as important as finding out the story of life on Earth, is understanding how we present that rich and amazing for all to see.
