Young Australian Skeptics

If you are one of the finalists listed, please find a new badge (below) that you may like to add to your own blog. This badge is for finalists only.

Finally! Many, many thanks to everyone who submitted and here are our final selections for the Young Australian Skeptics Blog Anthology!

Being selected, of course, doesn’t automatically mean they’ll be included — we’re writing now to politely ask all of our finalists if they will consider submitting to the anthology. We’re really very grateful for any inclusion and will run with what we get. Naturally, a helping-​​hand for those selected if they’re stuck with the formatting we’re proposing.

Additional big thanks to the following people: “Dr Adequate”, Dr Karen Stollznow and Dr Mark Henn for helping select these posts. We couldn’t have done it without them.

Additional HUGE thanks to the advice, guidance, support and fine example of a blogging anthology that greatly inspired this venture — Bora Zivkovic of Blog Around the Clock at Science Blogs (the latest Open Laboratory is now for sale at LuLu​.com!)

Deadline for final entries will be March 20^th, 2010, so we have enough time to collate everything and edit. Thanks again to everyone who suggested entries, submitted their own sites and we hope you’ll get this book!
