I'm curious about the readers of this weblog as we've been queried by the higher ups, but I don't know much aside from readers whose handles I am familiar with. I've set up a small survey with two questions, the first which asks which other science weblogs you read and the second on political orientation. Both are optional, and in the first case you can answer as many as you wish (the list is long, but mostly alphabetical). Just click here and enter survey number 56717 in the "Take A Survey" box (to the right side of the screen) to take the survey. You can leave comments about yourself if you want. Obviously this is aimed at regular readers of the weblog.
Here are the results.

Thanks to everyone who participated in the unscientific survey on commenting. The results are back, and I'd like to share them with you.
As many of you have noticed, we've been talking about comments a lot here lately, both at BioE and on Sb in general. There's also a big session on online civility…
I'm an atheist. Just like some people who are Christians but weren't always tell me that they "always believed in Christ," myself, I've never believed in God. Before the age of 7 I did avow a belief in God, but in hindsight I see only the most minimal of deisms in my conception of the world aside…
The posts on box-checking and liberal arts teaching generated a fair number of comments that I haven't really had time to address individually, across a few different social media platforms. So I'm going to collect some of the more important stuff here, in one catch-up post.

One of the many ancillary tasks associated with my job that I wish I was better at is the advising of students. More specifically, the advising of students who aren't like I was at that age.
What I mean by that is that when I was a student, I didn't need to be convinced of the utility of liberal…

I hate surveys like that even though I understand what you trying to find. You know what science blogs I read is a funny question. If you mean the actual blog then I checked the ones I read at least a couple times a month. but usually I read the feeds of new entries for Science Blogs. then when I see something I find interesting I follow it up. So I am "reading" all of them in a sense.
The is no one axis to group my political views. I am fiscally conservative, socially liberal, non-interventionist, all for ecological based regulation, etc. I will not vote Republican right now until the Habeus Corpus destroying current administration is gone, but could easily vote that way on the state level shortly thereafter...
