They both wrote about interbreeding of sorts, clearly pandering to the judge, squishy science advocate Richard Dawkins. <\/p><p>OK, seriously, this is very cool. It&rsquo;s nice to see science blogging get recognized (some major web awards still don&rsquo;t have a science category), very nice to see <em>good<\/em> science blogging get recognized, and very very nice that two of the three awards went to folks here at Discover. <\/p><p>When I first moved my blog to Discover a couple of years ago now, I wasn&rsquo;t sure how it would go, but I trusted the brand and the people at the magazine. This was clearly a good decision &mdash; I&rsquo;m happy here, and I&rsquo;m really proud of Carl and Ed. They deserved those awards&hellip; and I bet we&rsquo;ll be seeing a few more coming this way over time. We have an excellent group of writers here, and I suspect Discover Magazine will be a force among online science journalism and opinion writing for a long, long time to come.<\/p><p><\/p><p><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/x9L44XJZSa3p4RTBKcHNmej46Rk\/0\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/b7883_di\" border=\"0\" style=\"padding-left:10px; padding-right: 10px;\"><\/a><br><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/x9L44XJZSa3p4RTBKcHNmej46Rk\/1\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/b7883_di\" border=\"0\" style=\"padding-left:10px; padding-right: 10px;\"><\/a><\/p><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/b7883_b3Y11lQTyt0\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\" style=\"padding-left:10px; padding-right: 10px;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/b7883_Epo0GOhzXr0\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\" style=\"padding-left:10px; padding-right: 10px;\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two of my Hive Overmind Discover Magazine co-bloggers took home the top two awards from Three Quark Daily&rsquo;s science blogging contest: Carl Zimmer of The Loom, and our new blogger Ed Yong of Not Exactly Rocket Science.
