Mormons on Science and Technology

The Mormon Transhumanist Association seeks to promote awareness, particularly among Mormons, of opportunities and risks associated with advances in science and technology. To that end, the association has begun to aggregate blogs that cover both Mormonism and science or technology. You can view the aggregation here [Jan 2009]:
