Two days ago I mentioned some good news I had to share with all of you, and I have been impatiently keeping it under my hat. Now I can finally let the cat out of the bag. I am proud to say that Smithsonian magazine has just launched a new dinosaur blog called Dinosaur Tracking, and I am one of the contributing authors!
At the new blog I'll be covering everything from the latest peer-reviewed dinosaur research to campy comic books and b-movies (so long as they feature some Mesozoic monsters, of course). There are only a few posts up at the moment, including one I wrote about Albertonykus, but I would encourage you to stop by, leave some comments, and bookmark it. It is going to be a lot of fun.
(As I mentioned above , I'm only one of several authors who will be posting material on this new blog. I encourage you to look at all of it, but if you're interested in keeping track of my posts, the author credit is down by the comments.)
What does this mean for Laelaps? Never fear; this blog isn't going anywhere. While all my dinosaur-themed posts will go up at Dinosaur Tracking, you will still be able to find posts on evolution, the history of science, anthropology, zoology, and wildlife photography right here.
I never expected to have this opportunity and I am looking forward to introducing a wider audience to the latest paleontological science as well as some of my favorite bits of "prehistoric pulp." I'm already hard at work on some great stories, so head on over to Dinosaur Tracking and make yourselves at home. I'm looking forward to hearing from you there.
I'm thinking of starting a facebook group about you dude.
"We knew Brian Switek before he blew up!"
Congratulations! :-)
Congrats to you, Brian!
Congratulations!
Most excellent Brian! Cheers! Now get to work! ;)
Nice work, Brian - it looks like a blog with great premise and promise. Congratulations!
Another excellent venue for your excellent writing.
Congratulations!
(And thanks for the link!)
You certainly deserve it. I hope this advances your book, so we can all Switek, all the time.
Gaa! As if I didn't have enough blogs to read already! Congratulations, Brian.
Looks great! Congrats Brian!
This is very well deserved. Good for you!
I'm gonna go post this to my links section right now.
Awesome job Brian!
"and Rutgers University ecology and evolution student Brian Switek, whose enthusiasm for dinosaurology so bowled us over we recruited him to our team."
Words speak the loudest of all. If you write it they will come! Good luck and I hope this is the start of new great things for you.
Bookmarked. Hooray!
Definitely well-deserved. May it be the first step on the road to great things.
Sweet! This is very wonderful to hear.
I shall bookmark immediately for continued reading.
Belated congratulations man (i'm quite far from civilisation, by that I mean broadband internet!), I'll spread the word!
Oh great -- another MUST READ blog that I will have to keep track of now! :)
Seriously, congratulations, Brian -- I look forward to reading this additional blog when I should be doing stuff like working or paying bills or making sweet sweet love.
Well done, sir! You're goin' places in this big ol' Blogosphere. Congrats, and I look forward to seeing you over there!
