The Open Laboratory 2008 - in the final of all final stretches!

We are in the final strecth! The submissions have been trickling in all year, and a little bit more frequently recently, and many more over the past couple of weeks, so, if you have not done it yet, it is high time now to dig through your Archives for your best posts since December 20th 2007 and submit them. Submit one, or two, or several - no problem. Or ask your readers to submit for you.

Only submissions received through this form are valid.

Then take a look at your favourite bloggers and pick some of their best posts - don't worry, we can deal with duplicate entries. Do not forget new and up-coming blogs - they may not know about the anthology - and submit their stuff as well.

As we did last year, we encourage you to also send in original poems and cartoons.

Keep in mind that the posts will be printed in a book! A post that relies heavily on links, long quotes, copyrighted pictures, movies, etc., will not translate well into print.

The deadline is December 1st, 2008. - just two weeks to go!

Below are submissions so far. Check them out and get inspired. If you see that one of your posts is at an old URL and you have since moved, re-submit with the new URL (perhaps re-post it if necessary).

Posting URLs in the comments does not work. Go down to the bottom of this post (or to the sidebar of this blog) and click on the "Submit to OpenLab2008" button. Or click here.

1) That's a pretty damn impressive list already.
2) Huh - no posts from Pharyngula? PZ has written a couple of very good science posts this year. Guess I need to go find them again.
