My thanks to Nova for becoming my first blog sponsor. I've always been leery of the random scattershoot of ads you see on many blogs, and so I was relieved that I wound up with a better fit. (Full disclosure: I wrote the companion book to the big series on evolution that the Nova/WGBH team put together a couple years back.) I checked out their ScienceNow link, and they've got some cool items over there, including some clips of their show.
If anyone else is interested in sponsorship, and thereby reaching an incredibly desirable demographic (my dear readers), let me or the good people at corante.com know.
