clock | November 24, 2006Pew Internet and American Life Project just issued a new report: The Internet as a Resource for News and Information about Science (pdf). It states that:
Fully 87% of online users have at one time used the internet to carry out research on a scientific topic or concept and 40 million adults use the internet as their primary source of news and information about science.
The report is chockful of statistics of great importance to us science bloggers. For instance:
Each respondent to this survey received questions on one of three specific scientific topics: stem cell research, climate change,…

clock | November 22, 2006At the Blogger MeetUp the other night, among many other topics we covered, someone (I think it was Anton) asked if we ever blogged about our homes, houses, childhood memories of home...
Now that John Edwards is travelling around the country promoting his new book - Home: The Blueprints of Our Lives - the idea of writing about one's childhood home seems quite interesting.
I am no lyrical writer and I have no idea what to say about my childhood home, but David Kirk rose to the occasion today and wrote a beautiful and touching essay about his childhood home. It is a great story for the…
clock | November 22, 2006My son wants Wii for Hannukkah and he will get it. According to Jonah, it's good for you in more ways than just training in spatial orientation. You get a physical workout and you get drawn deeper into the game which will, presumably, make violence, aggression, injuries and death more realistic and thus may have the opposite effect of cartoonish effects of older video games or even watching carnage on TV news. You may even start emphatizing and thinking about the meaning of life! Who knows - time will tell.
But, and I did not think of this, Wii may do something more. Brian Russell muses…
clock | November 22, 2006Brian says that College Leaders should blog, commenting on this NYT article.
Sure, there are pros and cons, a steep learning curve and the potentially huge benefits along with the risk. But in the 21st century, it just has to be done. A leader who does not embrace online technology to foster a two-way communication is irrelevant and will go the way of the dinosaurs. A leader who does will evolve wings and learn to fly, adapted to the new environment.
Brian offers to help any University President set up a blog and get started, gratis. Take him up on his offer if you are a Top Dog at your…
retrospectacle | November 22, 2006Well, I'm not. But I am a B-List blogger, which might get me into some parties on the east side of Detroit.
Kineda's blog has a cute little app that measures your Technorati status to tell you what 'list' you'd be on.
What is a B-List Blogger defined as?
The High Authority Group [B-List Bloggers]
(100-499 blogs linking in the last 6 months)
The third group represents a decided shift in blog age while not blogging much more frequently than the last. In keeping with the theme of the maturation of the blogosphere, it seems evident that many of these bloggers were previously in category two and…

purepedantry | November 20, 2006Not cool, Egypt:
Police in Cairo have detained a blogger whose posts have been critical of the Egyptian government.
Rami Siyam, who blogs under the name of Ayyoub, was detained along with three friends after leaving the house of a fellow blogger late at night.
No reasons have been given for Mr Siyam's detention. The other friends were released after being questioned.
Human rights groups have accused Egypt of eroding freedom of speech by arresting several bloggers recently.
BBC Arab Affairs analyst Magdi Abdelhadi says blogging in Egypt is closely associated with political activism in a…

clock | November 17, 2006First - great news! Jennifer and Sean are getting married! They found each other online, blogging physics. Now, I know they are not the first people to find each other online and get married, but, to my knowledge, this is the highest-profile pair of bloggers to do so. And the first I know in the specifically science blogosphere. Is that true? Anyway, go say Hi to both of them. Congratulations!
Second, after a very long hiatus (but I kept checking often, always hopeful), everyone's favourite artist of extinct mammals and other charismatic megafauna, Olduvai George is back to blogging…
