Open the (Virtual) Lab

by Sean Carroll

A quick reminder to submit your favorite blog posts to this year’s incarnation of Open Lab, the anthology of the best science blogging. (Printed on honest to goodness dead trees, suitable for placing on bookshelves.) You can also buy copies of the editions for 2006, 2007, and 2008. This year’s editor is Scicurious of the Neurotopia blog. There is already a formidable list of nominees, but they could always use more. Submission form is here; if you’re a blogger, feel free to submit your own best stuff, and if you’re a blog reader, make sure none of your favorite posts are being ignored.

    Thank you for posting this, Sean. More the merrier. And I hope readers of Cosmic Variance submit some of the best CV posts as well. Also, just to note that we will try, as every year, to have the book published in time for ScienceOnline2010.com conference (January 15-17, 2010), so the deadline for submission is December 1st, 2009.

    • Cosmic Variance Cosmic Variance is a group blog by people who, coincidentally or not, all happen to be physicists and astrophysicists:
      • Daniel Holz
      • JoAnne Hewett
      • John Conway
      • Julianne Dalcanton
      • Mark Trodden
      • Risa Wechsler
      • Sean Carroll
      Our day (and night) jobs notwithstanding, the blog is about whatever we find interesting — science, to be sure, but also arts, politics, culture, technology, academia, and miscellaneous trivia. We have similar outlooks on many things, widely disparate opinions about others, and will do our best to keep the discourse reasonably elevated.
