Ask A Scienceblogger

The mothership asks:

How is it that all the PIs (Tara, PZ, Orac et al.), various grad students, post-docs, etc. find time to fulfill their primary objectives (day jobs) and blog so prolifically?

Ann Coulter would answer that, in the case of PZ at least, being an atheistic anti-american liberal evilutionist, his drinking of the blood of Christian babies embues him with satanic powers of endurance (and a well known squid fetish).

As for myself, the answer is simple .... coffee. Lots of coffee.
