I win, thanks to everyONE...

By edyong on April 1, 2009.

I win! Fame! Glory! People fanning me with palm-fronds! Muhahahaha! Kneel before Zod!... Ahem. Regains composure...

Bora Zivkovic of A Blog Around the Clock fame has graciously awarded the first Blog Post of the Month award from everyONE - the new blog from the open-access journal PLoS ONE - to the post I wrote about ballet dancers. Every month, Bora looks at blog posts that have reviewed PLoS ONE papers and picks one out for an accolade.

I'm very pleased, especially since the other blog posts in the running included stuff from some of my favourite writers - Christie of Observations of a Nerd, SciCurious from Neurotopia and Mo from Neurophilosophy.  Nice to see PLoS ONE's papers attracting work of such calibre - I'd put good money on any of these names appearing on future winner announcements.

From the Archives: Interview with Bora Zivkovic, Crazy Uncle of the Science Blogging Community
What with the recent blogospheric developments, I thought it would be a great idea to reprint a post from a couple of years ago where I turned the tables on Bora and interviewed him about science blogging, science and ScienceOnline. The original post is from March 13, 2008. I'd also like to point…
