Wow.

I’m really honoured, and doubly so because the panel of judges who selected the finalists reads like a Who’s Who of science blogging. I’m also thrilled for several friends who have very deservedly made the list.

If anyone’s just come onto the blog for the first time, hello. This blog covers almost nothing else besides peer-reviewed research, except for the occasional opinion piece on science journalism or wildlife photo. If anyone’s wondering why I don’t use the Research Blogging tag or aggregator that often, check out yesterday’s rant about the post-embargo publication window – it’s the same reason.
