Are we an academic blog, part II

Umm...define "academic"

But, while you think about that, there are articles like these to read.

Check out the prize for peace. Locusts watching Darth and Co. How lovely. And how about economics and that clock, eh? I reckon I could do with one of those.

Also, do you think the entire biology team smelt all 131 species of frogs and then noted their reactions? And how do you put that job down on your resume? ("spent some time sniffing over 100 species of frogs. Won award.")

At times like these, I want to be a proper scientist too.

Maybe BigMeetinginOurField can have a similar award ceremony? Maybe we (c'mon readers!) can nominate awards for it?

Thanks to Cosmic Variance (and the Guardian, of course) for the link.

We could so win a prize for "research that isn't particularly useful for the field, but that talks about topics that are in the news and therefore publishable anyway."
