SIZZLE TUESDAY: July 15!

By jjacquet on June 30, 2008.

I spoke with my sometimes co-blogger Randy Olson this morning. He's up to his neck in Sizzle hustling (though he did have time last week to host a dinner with Carl Zimmer, Chris Mooney and friends as Carl was in L.A. promoting his new book). The Sizzle folks have come up with a rather novel idea which will play out here on ScienceBlogs in a couple weeks. They put out an invitation to Science Bloggers to review the movie, got 40 replies, added on a few major environmental bloggers, and now have over 50 bloggers who will all be posting their reviews of the movie on SIZZLE TUESDAY, July 15.

Love the movie or hate it, they're going to produce a very loud voice from the world of science. Which seems like an interesting use of the blogosphere. Stay tuned!

Science as Sub Culture
The Seed Magazine motto is "Science as Culture." Interesting. I think they are talking about the interaction of culture and science, and about science as a part of the broader culture. But it may also be true that science, or scientists in particular, form something of a subculture (not a…
Late to the Party
Science Blogs had an event July 15 they called "Sizzle Tuesday" where a few dozen bloggers were given advanced screening copies of Randy Olson's new film "Sizzle". Seems it went well, there are links to 46 reviews on the Sizzle Tuesday page. I was supposed to have been in on all that but July 15th…
Sizzle: A Review of the latest from Randy Olsen
Back in May, we here at ScienceBlogs got an offer to get an advance screener copy of Randy Olson's new movie, "Sizzle", if we promised to review it. I hadn't seen any of Olson's movies before, but I've been involved in a few discussions with him as part of the Great Framing Wars, and while I…
