Welcome Koufax voters!

By jstemwedel on January 23, 2006.

I'm excited to be one of the many fine nominees for the "Best New Blog" Koufax Award for 2005. Because I know you want to make an informed decision about your vote (or, you know, put off doing actual work for a little while), here's a quick tour of my posts back at the pre-ScienceBlogs location.

Also, let me point out that two of my sibling bloggers here (Aetiology and Living the Scientific Life) are also up for "Best New Blog" -- as are a number of the blogs in my blogroll (right sidebar -- you know you wouldn't be here if you didn't have a little time to procrastinate!). Holy vote-splitting, Batman!

Is it possible, given the plethora of good science blogs among this year's Koufax nominees, for a science blog to beat out a garden-variety political blog for "Best New Blog"?

It might be if the ScienceBlogs readers remember to vote when voting opens!

Thanks for mentioning Scientific Life, but it should not be listed in the "best new blog" category.

With this post, I say goodbye to ScienceBlogs. Am I leaving because of the fiasco with the PepsiCo blog? Not directly. That's not to say that there weren't serious issues raised by the whole incident. Many of these lie in the realm of journalistic ethics, at least as understood by people you…

Younger offspring: Mom? I have a question. Dr. Free-Ride: OK. Younger offspring: If I got up really early -- Dr. Free-Ride: I hope you won't. Younger offspring: No, I won't, but if I got up really early, way before it's time to wake up, like, midnight, and I tried to open my eyes and wake up,…

At Uncertain Principles, Chad opines that "research methods" look different on the science-y side of campus than they do for his colleagues in the humanities and social sciences: When the college revised the general education requirements a few years ago, one of the new courses created had as one…
