The Laboratory is Open -- and we're there

Bora Zivkovic (aka Coturnix) is the Scienceblogs.com maestro at Blog Around the Clock. He is also a bona fide circadian rhythm researcher, which explains how he is able to blog so prolifically, orchestrate the community participation of PLoS One and still have time left over to compile the only anthology of scientific blogging, Open Laboratory, now in its second offering covering 2007. He's figured out how to go without sleep.

We didn't submit a post for consideration last year (our goof), but we did this time. I am glad to say we were one of the 50 posts selected (out of 486), so we are pretty happy. It's one from a year ago January , Tamiflu resistance, digging beneath the headlines. But you read it then, right? You can read the others over at Blog Around the Clock -- or you can buy the book which will be out soon. Proceeds go to support the second Science Blogging Conference later in the month.

Anyway, congratulations to us. Somebody had to say it!

Perhaps you are familiar with the 2006 Science Blogging Anthology, The Open Laboratory, that was put together by Bora Zivkovic. It is a great collection of (most) of the best of last year's science blogging, but as Bora has recently noted to me, it is lacking something important. That is, there…

Anyway, congratulations to us. Somebody had to say it!

Ditto! Scienceblogs is such a great science community. I have searched all over the Net and not found anything even remotely close! And its always nice to see the way everyone is pitching it to make it even better!
