Nature Book Review Online: The Open Laboratory

tags: , ,

Some of you might be aware that The Open Laboratory: The Best Writing on Science Blogs 2006 (2007) was reviewed in this week's issue of Nature magazine. This is a volume that I, along with 49 other science blog writers, contributed to (actually, most of this book was put together while I was hospitalized and shortly after I was discharged, so Bora, the editor, kindly thought to choose one of my pieces for the book himself). You might be interested to read this Nature review, and it might also inspire you to submit an essay or two of your own to the 2007 edition (I have not done so yet, shame on me, eh?).

After re-reading my own essay, I am inspired to rework a few pieces I have published earlier into something that might be suitable for the 2007 book.
