There has been a lot of moving and shaking going on at ScienceBlogs lately. Not only have we welcomed two new library science bloggers (Christina's LIS Rant and Confessions of a Science Librarian, welcome), but three of my favorite bloggers have left the Sb community. John Lynch (Stranger Fruit, now a simple prop), John Wilkins (Evolving Thoughts), and Afarensis have headed off to new corners of the blogohedron. They will be sorely missed here, but update your links and bookmarks so you can continue to read their excellent work.

It has been nearly a week since Darwinius, a 47-million-year-old primate heralded as the "missing link", burst on the public scene.
There are a number of things I have been meaning to blog about during the past week but for whatever reason they kept slipping my mind. Here's a brief collection of some neat stuff that I should have written about earlier;
Earlier this week Chris Mooney and Sheril Kirshenbaum moved their blog, The Intersection, over to Discover. I think it was a good move for them, but their fresh start was immediately marred by a horde of hooting numbskulls.
I've got to admit, as more of the blogs here blog less about science and more against issues they don't like (in particular religion) with an increased vitriol ... I look elsewhere.
Go away, TomJoe.

And that is what passes for intellectual discourse on parts of ScienceBlogs. Thanks for proving my point.
