Welcome to the New ESTH Blog!

Hello all, and welcome to U.S. Embassy London’s new Environment, Science, Technology, and Health blog. We’ll be updating the blog at least 3 or 4 times a week, so check back regularly to see what’s going on in both the U.S. and the United Kingdom. Go ahead and bookmark this site now, and check in regularly to see what’s new.

We intend to use this blog to cover a range of Environment, Science, Technology, and Health issues, trying to focus on the most important issues of the day in the U.S., the UK, or around the globe. Issues are likely to include climate change, renewable energy, nuclear energy, science and technology cooperation, space and aviation, and medicine. Of course, if other issues gain prominence, we’ll try to cover those as well.

We plan to follow a semi-regular blogging schedule, where we’ll provide regular roundups of official U.S. government announcements and UK government announcements (we’re currently planning to post these every Tuesday and Thursday, respectively). We’ll try to spotlight the innovative work that American businesses are doing, especially here in the UK. And, we’ll regularly check in with postings on various conferences, meetings, and events that we are attending in the area. Finally, because this is a blog, and a little bit less formal than some of our other means of communicating, we’ll try to occasionally post things that we simply find interesting or amusing.

For now, the blog will be a bit of a work in progress, so we appreciate any thoughts along the way. Are there things you would like to see us cover in depth? Are there things you think we’re focusing on too much? We invite you to use the comments section, and we’ll see if we can’t steer some of the upcoming posts to focus on areas our readers mention.

Thanks, and we look forward to helping this blog grow into an active community.
