Hairy Museum of Natural History

Many visitors to this blog know the work of Brian Switek, an undergrad student who runs the ScienceBlog Laelaps. Brian is one of twenty finalists in the running to receive this year’s $10,000 Blogging Scholarship. He’s made it to the finals on sheer merit, but he needs your vote to help seal the deal.

I’d like to encourage every HMNH visitor to click this link and vote for Brian. Here are a few reasons why:

• Laelaps provides a daily dose of science writing and photography, focusing on paleontology, biology, and history-of-science. Plus, it’s got one of the best banner images in the blogosphere. (If I do say so myself!)
• Brian also started and keeps up The Boneyard, a monthly bloggers’ carnival for paleontological posts.
• Finally, Brian also contributes content to the Smithsonian Magazine’s Dinosaur Tracking blog.

So there you have it, with just a few simple clicks you can help support one of the strongest and most prolific voices in the paleo-blogging community. Vote now, at the address below:
