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.

YES! Send me a free issue of Seed.
If I like what I see, I'll receive 5 more issues (6 in all) for just $14.95. That's 50% off the cover price! If I'm not completely satisfied, I'll simply write "cancel" on the invoice and owe nothing. The free issue is mine to keep.

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. :-)
