Sb 2.0 pledgemaster Prof Janet Stemwedel (Dr Free-Ride) has set forth a meme for others to learn more about the new wave of ScienceBloggers. Quite interesting queries, and the last one makes me look forward to a SciBloggerCon (or YearlySB?) that is open to the general public.

First thing I think of is, of course, Center for Astrophysics...
I once assumed that I could simply put "Craig Heinke, CfA" on my nametag for an AAS meeting. I quickly learned my arrogance in assuming that all astronomers have a clue what the CfA is. To be fair, I ran into people who just had "IfA" on their nametags; then I had to guess whether they lived in Hawaii or England (possible from their tans, perhaps).
IoA != IfA !!!
'course you have to go down several pages on google to learn that...
IfA is at least on the first page.
Ah, the humanity...
With my Australian IP address, I also get Country Fire Association and Cystic Fibrosis Australia before Center for Astrophysics (at the bottom of page two). Seems unreal when you use the lower case "f" -- I guess Google's algorithms still need tweaking.
