I've been so busy in NYC for the World Science Festival and seeing friends and family that I completely missed that the voting is open for the 3 Quarks Daily Science Blogging Contest!
There are 87 entries duking it out for a place among the top 20 semi-finalists - see the full list here. To get in the top 20 you need one thing and one thing only: votes. So go vote for your favorite post!
Of course, I'd appreciate if that favorite is one of mine :). Observations of a Nerd has three posts in contention (#49-51):
- How Do You ID a Dead Osama Anyway?
- Reflections on the Gulf Oil Spill: Conversations With My Grandpa
- Why do women cry? Obviously it's so they don't get laid
Even if you don't vote for one of mine, be sure to go vote! You can submit your vote through this link.
Good luck to everyone involved, and I'll let you know what posts make it to the next round!

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.

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):
