1:00 PM | Reading Diary: Trinity: A Graphic History of the First Atomic Bomb by Jonathan Fetter-Vorm
Jonathan Fetter-Vorm’s Trinity: A Graphic History of the First Atomic Bomb is a real gem of a graphic novel, yet another stunning exemplar of what is possible with the graphic novel format. As I’ve often said, there are basically two kinds of science graphic novels — those that use the format to illustrate the same…

1:00 PM | Best Science Books 2012: The top books of the year!!!!!
Every year for the last several years I’ve collated and extracted the science books from all the various “best books of the year” lists in different mainstream media and various other outlets. I’ve done the same this year for books published in 2011! I can tell it’s been popular among my readers from the hit…

3:59 AM | Around the Web: Aaron Swartz chronological link roundup
The recent death of Aaron Swartz has provoked a lot of commentary on the web so I thought I would gather some of it here. This is by no means an attempt to be comprehensive as the amount of commentary has been truly vast. I’ve tried to gather enough so that someone working through even…

2:48 PM | Explaining science using simple words: Up Goer Five
While thoroughly enjoying the recent #overlyhonestmethods meme on twitter I came across the #upgoerfive meme. This latest meme was inspired by an xkcd comic that attempted to explain the Saturn V rocket using only the 1000 most common English words.  Saturn V becomes Up Goer Five. So Theo Sanderson created a text editor that only allows you [...]

On January 10, 2013 Rick Anderson published a post at The Scholarly Kitchen published on six mistakes library staff are making when dealing with our vendors. Most of them were fairly standard stuff like don’t be rude, don’t waste people’s time. That sort of thing. (Yes, sometimes I think that every time I link to…

8:54 PM | When journal articles are hard to find
This post is a re-worked and updated version of a post that appeared on my blog, the Undergraduate Science Librarian, in October 2011. One of the most fun sciencey things I’ve seen lately is the #overlyhonestmethods meme on twitter. This was a cathartic exercise for scientists to say out loud the things that influence how [...]

I received an email today and have been given permission to post it here to help spread the word.   See below (emphasis is mine).

4:55 PM | Process behind a Nature Comment
Publishing a Comment in Nature involved a process unlike any I’ve experienced to date, so I figured I’d document it.   I wish more people would document the story behind their papers (and #OverlyHonestMethods :) ), and also the process behind their scientific communication to help us all peek behind the curtains.  Or, yknow, take down [...]
