There are only a couple of days left. Some competitors have already asked their supporters to switch their vote from them to Grrrl. Right now, she is the only real science blogger with a chance to actually win this. So, if you have not voted yet, or voted for someone else, go vote now. Just click here right now, register (simple and quick) and vote.

And blog from there? For the Quark expedition!
The voting has been going on for quite a while now, but now we are in the final stretch. There are several hundred contestants, but only the top few vote-getters have a chance (they also need to pass an in-person interview).
The voting is well…
Voting is not party involvement.
We hear a lot of talk these days about "voters" being repressed in their attempt to be involved in the Democratic primary process. There may be something to that, and it might be nice to make it easier for people to wake up on some (usually) Tuesday morning and go…
Donald Trump is the president elect of the United States. Why?
Trump did not win because he is widely liked. He is NOT widely liked.
A very small number of Americans voted for Trump, and this number was magnified by the conservative-state-favoring electoral college, and most of those who did not…
I went to Quail Ridge Books in Raleigh on Monday to hear Elizabeth Edwards read from her new book, Saving Graces (I could not make it to the earlier event in Chapel Hill as I was picking up the kids from school at the time). Quail Ridge Books and the surrounding area can get quite busy when a…
I shall cast my vote now.
I said it before, but you get more traffic than I do, so I will say it again:
To GrrlScientist:
Go, blog for me, and be my eyes
And ears, beneath Antarctic skies,
Where colonies of penguins dwell
(Creating quite a rancid smell).
And you will sit upon the ice
And snow, and blog in words concise
By rugged glaciers, icy shelves,
For us, who canât be there ourselves.
And I will read your priceless posts
And offer you a thousand toasts,
To health and heart, to pen and ink,
Whatever gift I chance to think.
Iâll wish I could be there to see
The wonders that you write for me,
So eloquent your vivid prose
Iâll feel the cold wind as it blows.
Such alien and foreign climes
Are too much work to cast in rhymes:
If you have schemes you would devise
Then blog for me and be my eyes.
The penguins there will sing and dance:
âGrrlScientist has won the chance!â
To friends up North, youâll say good-byes,
And blog for us, and be our eyes.
