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!
Your daily reader,

#7 ain't bad. Plus, you're much better looking than PZ!

Indeed--even worse when you blog about it. :D

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

humor is the Privilege of heterosexist white males. perhaps the key is that for your "our culture" is bounded by your own eurocentric biases, while as a person of color i have to live every day with a culture of oppression.
Razib, I can only assume you are kidding. If not...wow.
