The Open Laboratory in Nature!
The blogging anthology OpenLab 2007 has received a very favourable review in the premier science journal Nature. So you don't have to take my word for it that this is a very good addition to your bookshelf. I do have a chapter in this anthology, but all the essays in the OpenLab are terrific if I may say so. See here for you purchase options (and no, I don't get any income from this, all proceeds go to supporting the science blogging conference)Labels: blogs, Open Laboratory

The Open Laboratory 2007 is here!
The Open Laboratory 2007 is an anthology of some of the best science blogging produced in 2007. It is now available for purchase as a actual ink on dead trees book and will be available online and in various real bookstores. I think it is rather good, but one of my entries is in this anthology so I am biased (I made the Open Lab 2006 as well). You can also read the 53 winning entries here, and my winning entry here and here (I actually had two essays fused together).Why buy the dead tree version when you can read the online versions for free? Well, there is just something nice about holding a real book, and reading online on the beach is well, just not right. As well, it's nice to have all these essays in one handy volume. And it supports Science Blogging, proceeds go to supporting the Science Blogging conference, so it is in a good cause.
My contributions are all biological, but I will try and get some astronomy in next year.
