There are a number of places on the web that collect some great science blogs. The topics of these blogs are written by practicing scientists in their respective field or by accredited reporters. Regardless of the source, both provide citations and helpful links to past blog posts and scholarly research. Below I list a few places you can find blogs to follow.
Scientific American Blogs:

The blogs found on the Scientific American Magazine website happen to be my favorite source to find blogs about just about anything science related. They are updated frequently and the wide range of topics available make it a great source.
Discover Magazine Blogs:
http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/
Discover Magazine is also a great source for a variety of reporter and scientists alike. While the set up for both Discover and Scientific American Blog pages are similar I tend to favor Scientific American. My bias could come from the fact I find Scientific American magazine to be a better science magazine. Despite my bias both sources are great place to skim new blogs or find a blog to follow.
Smithsonian Blogs:

A final site that I like to look over is the Smithsonian Blogs. These blogs are quite lengthy and often provide insights into the experiments and finds of scientists associated with the museum. The one draw back to these blogs is they can be very specific and may dissuade a casual reader.
Hopefully you read or follow some of these blogs as it is a great way to keep track of the latest developments in various fields of science.
