The web's best science blogging.
Editors of the Open Laboratory, a science blogging anthology, announced the winners for the best science blogging of 2010. I was happy to be asked to participate as a judge again this year, helping to winnow down the 900 entries to just 50. Somehow, I’ve no idea how really, one of my posts was selected again. (And no, judges don’t get to vote for their own posts.) In my search to better understand the role that hybridization plays in the biological world, I wrote Givin’ props to hybrids last year and it was selected for the anthology. Some of the other winning posts that I’d rank among my favorites include: Man’s new best friend? A forgotten Russian experiment in fox domestication by Jason Goldman, Gut bacteria in Japanese people borrowed sushi-digesting genes from ocean bacteria by Ed Yong, It’s more than genes, it’s networks and systems by PZ Meyers, Ten Things You Don’t Know About Comets by Phil Plait, and Poison in the Night by Deborah Blum. But I reserve my label of all-time favorite for this one: Oiling The Devil’s Darning Needle by Meera of the Science Essayist. Go check them out. {Note: Science Online 2011 is about to commence, tonight actually. I won’t be blogging till after the conference, most likely. I’m moving to Asheville a few days after the conference, so posts will be scattered till we get settled in.}
Delene, you are the loveliest. Thank you. And congratulations! I find hybridization absolutely fascinating, and I love that post.
I hope you are having a BLAST at the conference! I’m watching happily from Twitter.
You will have to attend next year!
