Alright folks! Thank you to all of you who nominated my posts for the 3 Quarks Daily science blogging prize! The final winners will be chosen by Richard Dawkins, but before he even glances at them, the public gets to narrow the focus down from the 80 entries that made the first cut. Which means, of course, that I need you to go vote for me!
Here is the full list of nominees. There are 3 from Observations of a Nerd on there:
- Ancient Sex Scandals: Did We Get It On With Neanderthals?
- Evolution: The Curious Case of Dogs
- Evolution: Watching Speciation Occur
To cast your vote go to this link, scroll down to the post you want to vote for, click the circle, then scroll to the bottom and hit "vote"!
Everyone gets one vote, thus I need your help to make it to the next round. So get clicking!

The dogs article is very deserving, and was part of why I started reading your blog in the first place. It's a strong contender, though not the only contender, for the best article on the list.
However, in competitions like this I prefer to vote for something I haven't already read, partly as a counterbias, partly to justify the time spent reading the nominations, and partly to make it an easier choice.
So that's what I did. Don't worry, though: you're well ahead of the article I voted for. :-)
