My Dear Oyster’s Garter column on shape-changing plankton, “How a coccolithophore without its plates is like a grin without a cat,” will be included in Open Laboratory 2008: The Best Science Writing on Blogs! Open Laboratory is a compendium of the year’s best science blogging, and my entry was one of the 50 selected from 518 nominations.
You’ll be able to get all 50 essays (plus a poem and cartoon) on caressable, lovable bound paper later in the month. Special thanks to Karen James for nominating the winning post, to editor Jennifer Rohn, and to the coordinators and judges – reading all 518 must have been quite the labor of love.
