Here's this week's "Ask a scienceblogger" question:
How is it that all the PIs (Tara, PZ, Orac et al.), various grad students, post-docs, etc. find time to fulfill their primary objectives (day jobs) and blog so prolifically?

Dad: Just remember to share with the other kids, if they ask you.
me: Awww. Do I have to?
Dad [sternly]: Jessica.

Somewhat related: Has anyone ever seen a study relating hours of sleep required and some measure of scientific (or other) productivity? I've long suspected that "the greats" need a lot less sleep than some of us more ordinary folk. :)
