Orac just mentioned that Phil's Bad Astronomy blog was featured in Science's Netwatch section. John Hawks got plugged last week, and Pandas Thumb received a notice last November (mentioning this story I wrote and cross-posted to Panda's Thumb, even). And of course, Effect Measure were spotlighted in Nature in December. Not too bad for a bunch of nerds.

My official title at work is NASA Education Resource Director, so I am in fact a NERD. Hmmmm, my business card has my title on it, so I'm actually a card-carrying NERD.
Thanks for the plug. That's cool! Ironic, too: I was at NASA HQ today doing nerdly things, so I missed the link until you pointed it out. :-)
