Open Laboratory 2011 - the complete list of all submitted entries

This article was published in Scientific American’s former blog network and reflects the views of the author, not necessarily those of Scientific American


The submission period for The Open Laboratory 2011 has now ended. We have

717 721 entries this year and they all look great (all listed below)! This list alone, even though only 52 of them will make it into the book, is quite a snapshot of the year in science blogging and quite a resource - share it with your friends to show them the quality and beauty of science on the Web.

Jennifer and I will now start the process of organizing the judges, ushering them through the judging process, editing the winning posts and more. You'll have to be patient - with a traditional publisher things move much slower than you are used to seeing with us. But I will post updates whenever I have something new to tell you.
