The Best of September

By clock on September 30, 2009.

I have posted 131 times in September (exact same number as August), including many cool videos as well as a few pictures from a recent trip to the zoo. This month I also started importing the best links I posted on Twitter over the day, in Tweetlinks.

In September I interviewed Victor Henning, John Wilbanks and Kevin Emamy.

At work, the most exciting news was the release of Article-Level Metrics at PLoS - Download Data. I announced the Blog Pick Of The Month and that PLoS ONE won the '09 ALPSP Award for Publishing Innovation!. Then I did an Interview with Dr.Derya Unutmaz, Section Editor for Immunology at PLoS ONE and told you about our cool new dinosaur paper.

Speaking of dinosarus, it was also the time to announce the Open Dinosaur Project.

I got a brand new Homepage and did some fiddling around with my About Me page here.

I got on the editorial board of the Journal of Science Communication.

I made the first big ScienceOnline2010 update, went on the radio to talk about it and announced a new sponsor and travel grants.

The best post of the month was Talkin' Trash about the reporting from the Northern Pacific Gyre.

Futurity.org, a new science news service was anounced, with mixed reactions from the twitterverse, which prompted me to ask what investigative science reporting is.

This month was also an important date in my life.

I went to Techie Tuesday and The Long Table and next is a concert by Leonard Cohen.

The Best of October

The Best of July
I posted 173 (this is 174th) posts in July. As I was traveling the first half of the month, I scheduled a bunch of quotes and also a bunch of re-posts of the most basic and informative posts about chronobiology for your summer education ;-) The first week of July, I was in Lindau, Germany, at the…
Best of November
I posted 143 times in November. This was a busy month, getting to the end of the submission period for Open Lab 2009 and getting ready for ScienceOnline2010, so most of the posts had something to do with one of those two topics. And I posted quite a few good videos and a couple of cool photographs…
