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!

Sizzle: Framing :: Hit-With-A-Brick: Stabbed-With-A-Fork
I've been somewhat decoupled from blogdom in general recently, as I've been busy working on the book and getting ready for FutureBaby. It's also been a useful mental health break, though, as I'm a little less worked up about stupid stuff than I was a few months ago. Every now and then, I catch the…
I Like My Facts Well Done and Humorless
The Scienceborg is all abuzz about some Sizzle movie, with all sorts of good and bad reviews, and gnashing of the teeth about whether the movie stunk or whether it was the best thing since the invention of sliced ham (few know that this event was much more important than the invention of sliced…
