      I posted 13 times in April. That is, on A Blog Around The Clock or on Observations (not counting the much more frequent posts on The Network Central, The SA Incubator, Video of the Week, Image of the Week, or editing Guest Blog and Expeditions).

      New stuff:

      Events and updates:

      ScienceOnline2012 – interview with Kate Prengaman

      ScienceOnline2012 – interview with Tracy Vence

      And I republished a few posts from the old archives:
