New blogs!

Busy today and have family visiting from out of town, so I'll take a few minutes instead to highlight some fairly new blogs.

First I'll note that my friend and colleague over in the Biology department, John Logsdon, has a new blog: Sex, Genes, and Evolution. He's a real live evolutionary biologist working on a number of projects revolving around, well, sex and genes. And he has great hair.

Second, the American Society for Microbiology now has an official blog, Small Things Considered, written by past ASM president Moselio Schaechter. I've been meaning to mention it for awhile and keep forgetting, so if you're new to it, you might want to check out his 6 month update post along with the rest of the microbiology content.

Third, Scienceblogs has been steadily adding additional blogs, and the newest one will likely interest many of you who read the HIV denial and intelligent design/creationism posts here: denialism blog, written by Mark and Chris Hoofnagle.

Finally, my blogroll maintenance has fallen by the wayside. Since I've had little time to devote to blogging period in the last few months, my efforts have been focused mostly on content and the other stuff has been ignored. So, I know there are a number of other blogs out there that I should probably add to ye olde blogroll, and I'll probably do an overhaul after finals are over next week. If you have a blog, or know of a good one out there that I should check out, feel free to add suggestions in the comments.

Why don't I blog more? In part because I'm busy reading other blogs. I finally got around to adding some of my favorite science blogs outside the scienceblogs.com empire to the blogroll over on the left side. Allow me to take a moment to introduce you to them. The Anti-Toxo: A blog about every new…
Lots of changes here at Scienceblogs today. The editors of Seed magazine give the lowdown at Stochastic: Welcome to the new ScienceBlogs! Beginning today, you'll notice a newly designed homepage (built from your feedback) at scienceblogs.com and the addition of 25 new blogs to our network. *** We…
Its been a while since I updated the Ye Olde Blogroll, and since I've gotten a few email requests for links (good ones, not links to essay writing services) I thought I'd declare open season on links. I'll be updating this weekend, so if you want me to check out your site, leave it in the comments…
Moselio Schaechter, former American Society of Microbiology president, has a blog, Small Things Considered. It's pretty good. But the promo letter ASM sent around had one annoying thing (italics mine): Microbes have entered the blogosphere courtesy of past ASM president Moselio Schaechter,…

We can tell you've been busy - hope things mellow out for you soon. IMO, you shold add Kristine Harley's Amused Muse to your blogroll. http://amused-muse.blogspot.com/

She is a past winner of PZ's Best Poster Award, and she is a solid contributer to After The Bar Closes usual smackdown of Dr. Dr. Knucklehead William Dembski's Uncommonly Dense blog. http://www.antievolution.org/cgi-bin/ikonboard/ikonboard.cgi?s=462fa34e…

We look forward to your after-the-finals blogging!

How timely! I was just about to email and tell you I've left Genetics and Health and moved to my own independent space at EyeOnDNA.com. Hope you'll come by to visit! :)

Good suggestions! I gotta mention Dr. Hsien Lei's new blog, Eye on DNA. She is so full of personality! She previously was the Health & Science editor for b5 and has now gone indie. She is off to a great start so for those interested in genetics: www.eyeondna.com

Hsien, how funny! Our comments just coincided - I didn't see yours until after I posted! Good luck to ALL you science bloggers. :)

Please consider adding The EPIDEMIOLOGIC.ORG Network sites to your blogroll- especially given the close ties between your website and epidemiology.

Thanks

Thanks for the plug, Tara! Now that classes are over, I'm digging in a bit more on my blog.

Note that even though I am now a member of the LFHCfS, I'm re-upping the call for cutting my hair! It gets hot here in Iowa in the summer...
