Bracketology

By evolgen on March 14, 2007.

It's March, and you know what that means: brackets. There are two ScienceBlogs brackets to keep your eye on:

  • The barkers at the World's Fair have put together a Science Showdown -- bracket style -- broken into four regions: Octopus (life sciences), Mortar and Pestle (chemistry), Chair (philosophy and science studies), and Orbit (physics). Showdowns between competing disciplines will be decided, in part, by reader participation, and the winners will advance to face off with other disciplines. Go here to share your opinion on the opening round.

  • A more traditional March bracket contest is being coordinated by Dave Munger from Cognitive Daily. A bunch of ScienceBloggers are participating in an NCAA basketball tournament pool; if you'd like to enter a bracket, email Dave for the password.

#4: Science Showdown (Ten Best of the Decade from Half of the World's Fair)

This one was immense. It was also a dual effort (and not by "one of the guys" at the blog). Like the Puzzle Fantastica, this one is very difficult to re-post in its entirety. Luckily, Dave made a great graphic with links embedded to each game.

Good News from Obama Adminstration on Tax Expenditures

One good thing about the election is that I don't instinctively flinch every time the White House releases new policy initiatives. Case in point: tax expenditures. What's a tax expenditure?

Brackets and everything

This is maybe my favorite and/or the most aggressively nerdy thing on ScienceBlogs so far: it's smoking hot, one-on-one, science competition in the abstract, with brackets and everything.
