The nominations for the first ever Research Blogging Awards are in! The awards were created to "honor the outstanding bloggers who discuss peer-reviewed research".

This blog covers almost nothing else besides peer-reviewed research, except for the occasional opinion piece on science journalism or wildlife photo. If anyone's wondering why I don't use the Research Blogging tag or aggregator that often, check out yesterday's rant about the post-embargo publication window - it's the same reason.

Good luck Ed. I love what you do here.

Best of luck, Ed. I'm pulling for you. I do have one question, though: how'd they manage to miss "Darwinius Changes Everything" in the humor category?
