I’m particularly glad that Dawkins judged this because The Selfish Gene was probably one of the key things standing between me and the prospect of becoming something horrendous, like a physicist

Thanks for the shout-out Phil. Lovely sentiments about the quality of blogging in the world at large, and at Discover in particular. Very happy to have joined this collective.

Also, @Boingo – yes, it’s a Komodo dragon skull. Awesome, eh?

Of course, what Phil does not realise is that, compared to astronomy, biology is really, really complicated.

Just kidding, Phil, I know you really love biology after all.

Full disclosure: I’m a biochemist.

Yeah, biology and the squishy stuff…..where are the hard sciences? The true truth seekers of our cosmos? The fundamnetal questions are being uncovered and answered by a host of non-biology disciplines, yet none get a hat-tip from Dawkins? Astrology, scientology, prayer healing, quantum-nano-reiki-distance-alternative-natural-astral-projectal-physics? Where is the representation for these, i ask!!

*heh*

congrats to not only the two award winners, but to science journalism in the blogosphere in general.

Thanks, Phil. I think the contest should be judged next year by Neil deGrasse Tyson or some other non-biologist scientist. Dawkins and Steven Pinker are quite enough from the biological side of science for now.

Congratulations!

Now if we could just get the advertising department to not allow all the really crappy woo pedlers to appear (take their money and promise to only psychically advertise their wares… that would be fair turnabout).
