I got a nice little surprise this week. It turns out that my twitter feed (@Laelaps) was recommended by Scientific American in their latest issue. The scan I have (kindly sent to me by Anne-Marie Hodge) makes the endorsement a little difficult to see, but it simply reads;
Brian Switek, science writer with a focus on evolution (@Laelaps)
With any luck my name will someday appear in the magazine as an author of an article, but this is not a bad start. And congrats to Karen James (@kejames), too, who was also recommended by the folks over at SciAm.

What? You never heard of Laelaps? Inconceivable!!!!
Start here and read everything. It's really great.
Yes, it's true: we have now absorbed Laelaps. Update your links and feeds.
Laelaps explains the basic concepts of horse evolution.
Laelaps is back up and running at my author website, http://brianswitek.com. Go there for new posts and updates on where this blog will ultimately settle. - Brian
Wow. The next step is to get them to review your book.
One has to take what one can get. It's not bad for a start.
Congratulations.
Huzzah!
I've been following you on twitter since you started tweeting. I'm looking forward to reading your book.
