Link Love, etc

First off, the e-mails have been sent, and if you're a member of ResearchBlogging.Org, then you should haev a vote to cast in the ResearchBlogging Awards! So go vote for Observations of a Nerd for the best lay-level and biology blog as well as best research post of the year *cough* *cough* your favorites!

If you aren't a member, then I guess you'll just have to wait to see what happens. Good luck to all the contestants!

Anyhow, I've been awful busy this week starting my last rotation in a whole new lab, so I've been lagging on the goods. If you follow my twitter, you've gotten a little more, but for everyone else here are some fun things to go check out:

Carl wants to give in to the microbes - what do you think?

A little warm and fuzzy after that: A dog and his feline best friend

Need something to do? How about you take your peeps places!

And of course, the most important question you'll get asked all day: Do your balls hang low?

Hopefully that'll keep y'all busy until I can force myself to sit down in front of the computer a little longer and give you a real post.

(and, PS, if you're still bored, scroll down a little and check out the "Fun Reads" and "Other Fun Reads" sticky notes on the right-hand side of the page...)

I was in Boston last two days, and mostly offline, so the news of the announcements of ResearchBlogging.org Awards found me on Twitter, on my iPhone during a brief break of the PRI/BBC/Nova/Sigma Xi/WGBH/The World meeting. Thus, apart from a couple of quick retweets, I did not have the opportunity…
