FINALLY! The polls are open to vote for the 2005 Koufax Awards. The purpose of this round of voting is to identify the top 6-10 semifinalists for each category. Voting is done either through email or by posting your choice in each category's comments. As you might recall, Living the Scientific Life was nominated for a few of these award categories, as follows;
Best Blog (non-professional)Most Deserving of Wider Recognition
Best Individual Post for Tsunamis and Mangroves: The Shrimp Connection
Most Humorous Post for My Living Will
Best Series for Birds in the News (most recent issue), which today, celebrates its first year anniversary.
Of course, I'd really appreciate your vote.

Today is a big day for American Presidential politics, the so-called Super Tuesday when citizens in 24 states vote or caucus with their fellows to help select the candidates of the two main political parties. I live in one of those 24 states and Mrs. R. and I vote regular as clockwork.
I've been thinking about the Electoral College, that mechanism by which voters in the U.S. indirectly elect their president.
Are you registered? Do you know where to vote? You can find information and register (if you are not) here (this is an Obama site, but it works for everyone):
You're also drawing votes in the Best New Blog category -- just so you know!
dang, i am not supposed to be in that category! (unless THIS incarnation of my blog is considered "new" .. but i don't think it fits their definition) GAH!!!!
I was surprised to see it listed under best new blog also. Someone must have made a mistake.
Well don't 'look a gift-horse' and all that! Heck, the quality of your competition, in all categories, is an award in itself!
I'm going to wait a day or two to see how this goes... At this stage I'm going to vote strategically.
