Blogroll Amnesty Day

By sciencewoman on February 2, 2009.

i-9dc84d4d9156dccb30d5f62466b4219a-swblocks.jpgThe powers that be have declared this the third annual Blogroll Amnesty Day. According to those powers, we are supposed to be celebrate by linking to five lesser-known bloggers, and reiterating our liberal blogroll policy.

First the blogs you should be reading...hard choices here, but I'm going to go with these:

  1. The Alternative Scientist - a group blog on alternative science careers
  2. Life as I know it... - a new blog by thoughtful commenter Jenn PhD
  3. I love science, really - by the wonderful Mrs. Whatsit
  4. Mrs. Comet Hunter - if great bands can self-title albums, why not bloggers?
  5. Chick with PhizzleDizzle - computer scientist and a bag of chips.

OK, that was the easy part. Now on to our blogroll policy. If you are a women in STEM, an ally to women in STEM, or dispense advice for scientists, engineers, or academics, we'd love to have you on our blogroll.

BUT, our blogrolling service has been down since October. And I don't have the energy to re-do the blogrolls from scratch, so I'm going to buy into blogrolling.com's promises to be up and running sometime... So for now, if you'd like to be added to the blogroll, please add a link in the comments section of this post. Then, as soon as blogrolling returns to life, I'll start to get the blogrolls updated. Thanks for your patience and understanding.

And happy Blogroll Amnesty Day.

Correcting some misapprehensions…
Some people have taken blogroll amnesty day the wrong way—or perhaps it has been used in the wrong way. Jon Swift registers the impression that this was an undemocratic purge that simply re-enthroned the same old elites and tossed the little guys on the scrapheap. But the more I learned about this…

My apologies to the Great Bard. Today is Blogroll Amnesty Day, this year co-hosted by skippy and Jon Swift. According to skippy, we're supposed to link to five smaller blogs. Below the fold, my five choices, and my mauling of Shakespeare in honor of Blogroll Amnesty Day: Rev. BigDumbChimp…
November Scientiae: Trick or treat!
Hello, and welcome to the November edition of Scientiae! The month of October was filled with tricks and treats galore; costumes were donned, and a rollicking good time was had by all. Or at least most. Or some. Anyway, read along to find out who got treated, who got tricked, and who's still…
Blogroll Amnesty Day
Jon Swift and Skippy are reminding us that this weekend is the time for the annual Blogroll Amnesty Day. The rule is to highlight, link to, and add to one's blogroll, some deserving blogs that have smaller traffic than you. Now, it's sometimes not easy figuring out who has what traffic - if you…

Thanks for the new reading material! My blog is in its infancy, but I would be honored to be rolled when the blogroll returns.

We're just getting started over at New Voices, but we'd love to have you check us out and consider us for your blogroll (when it's working again). Our goal is to help create articulate spokespeople for science and you and Alice are certainly great role models!

I've added sciencewomen to the blogroll at wetmachine.com

On wetmachine we've been writing about science, technology, policy (especially FCC, media, internet & intellectual property policy) for about 7 years.

In the "what a remarkable coinky-dink" department, my wife and I met at Purdue, where we were both grad students -- she in molecular biology (some of the first published work on shifted reading frames in DNA -- 1978) & I in agricultural economics.

My novels, which are available for free download from wetmachine.com (& for sale in printed form!) also deal with science & technology & society, etc. "Acts of the Apostles", my first novel, has a few Purdue references.

Gee thanks SW! I saw this on a quick flyby read, but didn't have time to comment. I'm finally getting back into the swing of things in PhDCity and getting caught up on what I missed :)
