Thank You!

Just a brief word of thanks to everyone who took the time to vote for Communicate Science in the recent Eircom Spider 'Big Mouth' Award.

As usual, the awards night was great fun (I'm a bit of a regular now :)) and met some very interesting people including fellow science blogger Maria Daly of Science Calling.

Once again it was great to see two science blogs competing with current affairs, entertainment, etc. and while not repeating the feats of The Frog Blog who took home the gong last year, I think we were both very pleased to be amongst the shortlisted sites.

Great News for Science Blogging

Congratulations to Frog Bloggers Jeremy Stone and Humphrey Jones for taking home the 'Big Mouth' award from the Eircom Spiders which were held in Dublin's Burlington Hotel last Thursday night.

The fact that two science blogs were nominated in this category and that the Frog Blog took the prize home is great news for Irish science blogging which is going from strength to strength at the moment.

A sincere word of thanks

I'd like to say a very special Thank You to everyone who voted for me in the Eircom Spider Awards. I really do appreciate it. Voting has now closed.

The results will be announced on Thursday 18th November at a ceremony in Dublin. Fingers crossed!
