I'm still in a bit of a somber mood today, but while PZ is blushing, I suppose I won't be quite as shy. He mentions a new article in Nature (link) listing popular science blogs. Aetiology didn't make the top 5 by their rubric (those were Pharyngula, of course, along with Pandas Thumb, Real Climate, Cosmic Variance, and The Scientific Activist), but it made it into the top 50 (#7 using their methodology--which, they note, is just a rough snapshot). They also limited it to blogs by working scientists writing about science, and have a separate category for writers.

That's funny, you don't look somber....Congrats on the listing!
Hey, but you are also a Panda's Thumb contributor, aren't you?
No need to blush - you deserve the accolades.
How bad do you want that #1 spot?
Nice going, Tara!

Some might argue that it's a worse statement of our culture when people lose their sense of humor.
