The winners of the first Research Blogging Awards<\/a> were announced today, and I was very pleasantly surprised to find that this blog was named the “Best Blog — Chemistry, Physics, or Astronomy.” I knew that I was nominated– I was one of the judges<\/a>, and while I abstained from voting on my own blog, I did see it in the list with many other excellent blogs. Given that research blogging is only a small part of what I do, I didn’t expect to win at all.<\/p>\n

(In the manner of such awards, I now feel guilty for not having done any ResearchBlogging posts in ages, so I’ve queued one up for tomorrow morning, on the cooling of a “macroscopic” object to its quantum ground state<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

Of course, the big honor, and the big money, goes to Ed Yong of Not Exactly Rocket Science<\/a>, who won both Research Blog of the Year and Blog Post of the Year. Ed wins a cool $1,000 (some less satisfyingly round number of pounds or euros), and it’s a well-deserved honor. (I get $50, which I will send to DonorsChoose<\/a>, ScienceBlogs’s charity of choice.)<\/p>\n

The list of honorees and nominees is a long one, though, and you could do a whole lot worse than to spend a few hours reading through the blogs on the list. There’s some really good, high-quality writing about science out there on the Internet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
