Nominations have now opened for this year&#8217;s science prize; you have until May 31 to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.3quarksdaily.com\/3quarksdaily\/2010\/05\/richard-dawkins-to-judge-2nd-annual-3-quarks-daily-prize-in-science.html\">suggest<\/a> your favorite science blog post from the last year; then there will be a round of public voting, and a final award bestowed by a celebrity judge.  Last year the science prize was awarded by Steven Pinker; this year it will be Richard Dawkins.  Someday I&#8217;m sure they&#8217;ll work their way up to having a physicist serve as judge.<\/p>\n<p>Feel free, of course, to nominate your favorite posts from Cosmic Variance; I&#8217;m far too shallow to be reluctant to win awards.  But even better would be to find a really great post at a smaller blog that not as many people know about, and use this contest as a vehicle for bringing more attention to really good writing.  There&#8217;s too much good stuff out there, it&#8217;s impossible to follow all of it, so it&#8217;s always nice to hear about new bloggers doing great things.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>3 Quarks Daily has embarked on an annual hunt for the best blog posts in four areas: science, politics, philosophy, and arts &amp; literature.
