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.

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!"
