Attila had the idea for a contest for a best designed, prettiest and most functional laboratory website. I picked up on it and posted about it on my blog.
The idea took off and the contest was hosted by The Scientist. And again, I blogged about it. Anton saw my post, and told Karl about it. Karl went on and nominated the website of the Purves lab.
Attila was one of the judges, of course. The results are now in and the winners have been announced - the Purves lab won the Editor's Choice award and one of the Judges' award. Nyborg Lab won the Readers' award. Attila gave his award to the Redfield Lab. Check out the other winners here. See all the nominated websites here.

Bora, thanks for the nice coverage, it is good to know the story of how the Purves lab was nominated.
In fact it is Karl's tagline about the Purves site that The Scientist kept on the awards page: "be prepared to lose at least a half hour!"
