Comments on: An awarding experience http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2007/10/04/an-awarding-experience/ I am an astronomer, writer, and skeptic. I likes reality the way it is, and I aims to keep it that way. My real name is Phil Plait, and I run the Bad Astronomy blog.

I can think of few people who have done more to advance the understanding (and joy and excitement) of astronomy and science in general than you have. Phil,

Congratulations on your well-deserved award.

He does this so well that we can even overlook the fact that he uses the word "cool" even more often than John Denver did. Congratulations, Dr. Plait."
