Blogroll Update

I'm a very, very lazy blogger, and I'm particularly bad about updating my sidebar links. I finally got around to putting a few months' worth of new science-y blogs into the sidebar, though, so you might want to check them out, if you don't already read them:

  • Angry Physics "Presenting the "other" side of academic physics, where people backstab and give lousy talks. Where people are sometimes lazy or incompetent, and the best don't get the credit or the job. From the perspective of someone lucky enough to have landed a tenure-track professorship."
  • Backreaction A blog by a recently married high-energy theorist, who posted a nice article about nonlocality a while back that I meant to say something about.
  • bento-box A moderately eclectic chemistry blogger.
  • Cocktail Party Physics Science writer Jennifer Ouellette, who includes occasional mixed-drink recipes.
  • The Scientific Curmudgeon Science writer John "End of Science" Horgan, via the Center for Science Writing at the Stevens Institute of Technology.
  • Dylan Stiles A chemistry grad student, who likes to cook shit up like bacon.

There's a definite physics/ chem bias here, I realize, but then, if you want life science blogging, you've got twenty-odd ScienceBlogs to choose from...

I feel a little guilty for catering to the whims of Internet perverts in the previous entry, so here are a couple of new science-y blogs worth taking a look at: First, via Derek Lowe, is the blog of chemistry grad student Dylan Stiles. There's lots of highly geeky material, with lots of little…
