Back in March or early April, I was interviewed for an article on Science Blogging for BlueSci, the Cambridge University's popular science magazine, produced by students there. The issue is now out and the article by Mica Tatalovic based on that interview is very good. You should read the entire issue, of course (I liked the review of the current knowledge of kisspeptin, for instance), but if you want to read the Science Blogging article, you will have to scroll down to pages 30 and 31 of the PDF. Enjoy the cartoons drawn for the article as well - we may have to use this one for advertising the Science Blogging Conference, methinks:

Assimilate!
But all skepticism aside I think people need to relax and have fun, humor, and love in their serious professions. (myself included) I'll shut-up now and go read the article. :)
