Moselio Schaechter, former American Society of Microbiology president, has a blog, Small Things Considered. It's pretty good. But the promo letter ASM sent around had one annoying thing (italics mine):
Microbes have entered the blogosphere courtesy of past ASM president Moselio Schaechter, professor emeritus at Tufts and a visiting scholar at the University of San Diego.
Actually, microbes have been in the blogosphere for some time now. Tara immediately comes to mind, along with the regular contributors to Animalcules (not to mention the Mad Biologist, who has a thing or two to say about antibiotics from time to time...).
But don't hold the promo letter against Schaechter, Small Things Considered is worth the read.
Although he should curse a lot more.

Welcome to the introductory edition of Animalcules!
Our first, and most pressing, issue is the name. As was pointed out in the comments here, there's already a monthly column in Microbe (formerly ASM News) called "Animalcules." But I still like the name, so I was thinking of incorporating…
Or it's not the messaging, it's the actual policy. John Aravosis was recently invited to the White House along with some other 'progressive' bloggers who were called out on the carpet for not supporting the stimulus enough (funny, I didn't realize they were paid political operatives...). Aravosis…
This is the perfect opportunity to note the wonderful tabloid headline I saw in the checkout line yesterday:
"Boy Raised by Microbes"
It even showed the boy next to a picture of his 'foster parents.'
Looks like Schaechter was scooped.
