Posted by The National Academy of Sciences just announced its 2005 Communications Awards. Gareth Cook, Pulitzer prizewinner from the Boston Globe, won the Newspaper/Magazine/Internet category for his must-read series of articles on stem cells. I was named one of two finalists, for a group of pieces about evolution that appeared during 2005 in Discover, The New York Times, and right here. I knew I might be taking a risk by including some posts from The Loom, but I was very proud of them. It’s nice to see that blogs are taking seriously by the likes of the National Academy of Sciences.

Way to go, Carl.
Not only do you lucidly explain, but you actively and creatively find connections in the data-pile that would otherwise escape most of us curious sci-phreaks.
And your willingness to go to bat for evolutionary science, and stand toe to toe with the reality-challenged when necessary, is deeply appreciated, and elevates you well above the crowd of “science journalists.”

Congratulations! And I agree that it’s noteworthy that you were the only finalist with “blog content.” In my opinion, The Loom is exactly the sort of non-strident fact-based blog that definitely adds light and not just heat …
