Scientific Proof: Scientists Love Blogging with Movable Type

Nature just published a great look at science blogs, focusing not merely on blogs that discuss topics related to science, but ones that are actually written by practicing scientists. The article also features some great sidebars, including a list of science blogs by non-scientist writers, an explanation of how their list was made, and some stats about science blogs. There's some really fantastic blogging featured in the story, and even if you're not a scientist yourself, who could help but be charmed by blogs with names like Pharyngula, The Panda's Thumb, or Three-Toed Sloth? And as satisfying as it is to see this great science blogging going on, we're also proud that 30 of the fifty most popular science blogs that Nature has identified are powered by Movable Type. We're not experts at blogometrology, but we're pretty sure that's statistically significant. Naturally, Nature has its own Movable Type-powered news blog as well.
