#SciAmBlogs Monday - MIN awards, Quantum Entanglement, Neglected Tropical Diseases, living dirty, mimic spiders, coffee and more...

Welcome back. As it is Monday, we have the new Image of the Week ? it is just one of a series, so make sure to click through to the original blog post where that one came from.

I don?t know much about all those media awards (I am much more aware of the good old Kaufax Awards, ResearchBlogging Awards, 3 Quarks Daily Awards and such), but it seems this one is big as everyone is so excited about it. Scientific American is a finalist in four categories:

Blog: ?A Blog Around the Clock?
Editorial Excellence ? Special Section: Education channel on www.ScientificAmerican.com
Integration with Print: ?Cities: Better, Greener, Smarter?
Tablet App ? Paid app ? Interactive: Journey to the Exoplanets App for iPad

I am not sure who does the judging and how (does not seem to be a community/online effort) and it is unfortunate there are no links to any of the finalists so you have to google them. I may even be in NYC on the day of the awards and can try to sneak in? And does this means I need to post more often on ?A Blog Around the Clock? now, along with all these other blogs I write or edit? But hey, it?s nice to be in the run against Weigel
