Please welcome Dean’s Corner to Scienceblogs.com
November 30, 2010
The latest recruit to Scienceblogs.com is Dr. Jeffrey H. Toney . His blurb says he
…is an educator and a scientist whose career has spanned academia and the pharmaceutical industry. He serves as the dean of the College of Natural, Applied and Health Sciences at Kean University. He is dedicated to strengthening public appreciation of the beauty and impact of science in our daily lives.
Sounds pretty good to me.
His background is overviewed in an early entry, entitled “Why ScienceBlogs is So Important”
You can find him on Twitter as @jefftoney
