The blog site celebrates the process of science — from the perspective of young people in the midst of their postgraduate studies. It is one of the projects led by the South African Young Academy of Science, an organisation with the twin aims of being the voice of young scientists, and to help bridge the gaps between science and society. In early 2015, SAYAS launched a competition to find the best PhD bloggers in South Africa, which has continued in 2016 with the addition of Master’s students’ voices.
