Overheard in the Science Blogosphere

When Jean-Claude Bradley thinks of his blog UsefulChem and Open Source, he thinks of hot chicks on skateboards. [UsefulChem]

How are academics not like hot skater chicks? We think it might have something to do with the workplace culture. And, just maybe, skater chicks are smarter. [Home Cooked Theory]

Since when did scientists become a bunch of lemmings? Now a bunch of bio-bloggers are holding some kind of Blogger BioBlitz. Why? Because this week is the National Wildlife Federation's Wildlife Week. Whatevs. [Bootstrap Analysis]

Speaking of protecting our wildlife - or, you know, not - President Bush has found an ingenious way to reduce the number of animals on the endangered species list: by only protecting "plants and animals only in areas where they are struggling to survive, while ignoring places they are healthy or have already died out." The new interpretation was released very quietly with no formal announcement, clearly hoping environmentalists would be too busy with Earth Day and bio-blogging to notice. [TreeHugger]

Jean-Claude Bradley:

To be fair, I didn't make that association before Karl Bailey put that skateboarding pic in his blog - but I do now :)
