The Research Blogging Editor’s Selectionies are out! Hosted by Krystal D’Costa, this award is roughly similar to the Academy Awards, but for blog posts about peer reviewed research. And I won one!!!<\/p>\n
My post “A word or two about tobacco, and some neat and new research<\/a>.” It was said of this post “At Greg Laden’s blog, readers are treated to a bit of botany related to tobacco and we learn that physical evidence has been found linking the Maya to tobacco use.”<\/p>\n I am truly humbled.<\/p>\n Four other posts won the same award. From Krystal’s post<\/a>:<\/p>\n Thank you, thank you very much, oh, I see the music is playing I must get off the stage now.<\/p>\n But seriously, if you don’t happen to be familiar with Research Blogging Dot Org <\/a>you should check it out. It is a kind of central link clearing house for science bloggers (who are legit science bloggers, not fake ones) blogging about current (but sometimes I sneak in an older one) peer reviewed research papers. I always recommend it to teachers as a great way to get a quick handle on current research in your area.<\/p>\n OK, back in my seat now. They are announcing the next Selectionie.<\/p>\n Holy crap I won another one! Sarah Kendrew has selected three wonderful posts<\/a>, one by me (thank you very much) for the January 10th awards. One appears to be on time travelling<\/a>, and one on supermassive black holes<\/a>.<\/p>\n Mine is on Russian Rivers and Arctic Salinity: Climate Variation Better Understood. <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Research Blogging Editor’s Selectionies are out!
