Also while I was away, Nature published its list of the top blogs by scientists. EvolutionBlog was listed in a tie for the twentieth spot, based on my Technorati rank (whatever that is). Cool. All such lists have to be taken with a grain of salt, of course, but it's always nice to be noticed.
It was also nice to see The Panda's Thumb, to which I am proud to contribute, ranked second. P. Z. Myers earned a well-deserved spot at the top of the list. And congratulations to all the other SB'ers on the list.

The world's pre-eminent scientific journal, Nature, has once again taken notice of blogs. I say "once again" because Nature has consistently been out in front in recognizing that blogging has come to science, not just science to blogging. Senior correspondent Declan Butler has his own blog and was…
This Thursday's issue of Nature ranks the top 50 science blogs on the internet and, somewhat surprisingly, The Scientific Activist lands in the #5 spot. The top 5, with their Technorati ranks in parentheses, are as follows:
Pharyngula (179)
The Panda's Thumb (1,647)
RealClimate (1,884)
Cosmic…
Among other things, they have a funny definition of "science blog" - neither Bad Astronomy nor Language Log made the list, and Langauge Log would have ranked second (behind the mighty unstoppable juggernaut of Pharyngula).
But congrats anyway!
