Hey We Got Nominated for Something

by Sean Carroll

Usually I don’t pimp out blog competitions, as too often they end up honoring crackpots, climate denialists, etc. But here (via Phil) is a contest sponsored by Physics.org, where the other entries are all very good blogs:

  • Starts With a Bang
  • Dot Physics
  • Bad Astronomy
  • Physics Central

Admittedly they left off some other very awesome blogs, but there’s always next year. So, yeah; I’m happy to advertise blog competitions in which I wouldn’t mind losing.

There are also competitions for best podcast, best online magazine, etc. Let your voice be heard.

    • 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.
