The good, the better and the best

Coturnix at A Blog Around the Clock is editing the Science Blogging Anthology 2006 that will be published as a book pretty soon, in fact, by the end of next week.

I am delighted that this post of mine has made it to the final 50 from among 218 entries and will appear in the anthology. The other 49 posts are listed at A Blog Around the Clock.

This is the first-ever Science Blogging Anthology (a collector's edition, perhaps?). It may be a minor effort in our struggles to introduce scientific thinking and to disseminate scientific knowledge to the masses, which is something we desperately need, especially in the U.S., but it is a good start and will hopefully become a yearly tradition. I congratulate Coturnix for undertaking this project.
