Where are the faculty bloggers? asks RPM over at evolgen
Er, mostly hiding pseudonymously from rampaging department chairs and deans...
but Chad takes up the discussion, standing up for the physicists bloggers, and borrowing a couple of astronomers for the good cause
hey, thought I, this is interesting, maybe there is a link with the two cultures - the focused vs the dabblers in academia>?!
I know!
(I think)
Obviously it is us Dabblers who blog, since the Focused Faculty are totally monomanic, in the Lab learning more and more about less and less, as they say.
Clearly the Focused don't blog, too busy focusing!
Brilliant conjecture, neatly ties two recent topics together.
Er, maybe I'd better check the data...
Yup! Yup! Er, maybe... is that enough data points?
Nope. No... Who knows? No, definitely not.

Ok, it doesn't work.
Another brilliant theory destroyed by pesky data.
Hey, I know, maybe bloggers like monomanic topics they can obsess on, like those stories you hear about knitting bloggers...
Maybe I'd better check the first data though...
