Pure Pedantry is a great blog. Jake writes some cool neuroscience stuff, and an occasional political post I disagree with (but not enough to start a blogwar). Kara Contreary has recently retired (though we'll see how long that lasts!) so Jake has been all alone and wondering what to do. Of course, he could just coast along, threating the primacy of Pharyngula in traffic due to his Britney Spears post that is so popular these days.
If people come to Pure Pedantry for Britney and then look around, you know what they are looking for...
Well, that is sorta what they will get. Sorta. Sex, but from a very different perspective - that of a behavioral neuro-endocrinologist: reproductive and parental behavior (parental! on a blog with a Britney post!). Jake got a new co-blogger and it is a real steal (OK, I am pouting, Jake just acted faster than I did) - Kate Seip of Anterior Commissure.
Regular readers of my blog know I linked to Kate approximately five billion times, until she decided to stop blogging at Anterior Commissure and give more time to her studies and to the Science Communication Consortium (and its affiliated blog), her program of a series of talks and panels on improving science communication.
And you know that I took the picture of her one night around 1am in front of a bar in Manhattan, the picture that was her profile picture on Anterior Commissure ever since.
And you know that one of her posts appears in the 2nd blogging anthology.
And you know how sad I was when she stopped blogging.
So, I am really, really happy that Kate is now officially one of my SciBlings - so go now and say Hello.
