March Madness is winding down and today is the start of the Men’s Final Four games, while the Women’s Final Four have just been determined. This year, science has also participated in March Madness, complete with brackets of its own (via Science Blogs):

Note that science is still on the sweet sixteen stage and has yet to determine the final four. Sometimes the progress of science marches more slowly than we would like. It’s probably a funding issue.
The four regions being represented are physics, scientific methods, biology, and chemistry. Not that I’m biased or anything, but may particles win!
