Science Blogging article in BlueSci

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:

Cute cartoon. I like the feeling of unity and love it expresses. But I wonder if this cartoon is really meant to be sarcastic...?

Ya know like how bloggers aren't serious, and are part of some love cult. I mean ya know we only write about cats on friday in our pajamas right? Didn't another profession promote that when they didn't understand us? Now that journalists, most of them, have lost their fear of bloggers they've become us. Mmwahahaha! Resistance is futile! 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. :)
