Top 5 Science Blogs
Courtesy of Nature (2006, v442, p9) who with Technorati searched for blogs by working scientists active in research (as opposed to teaching, monitoring, journalism, policy etc). They ranked these out of the 46.7 million blogs Technorati index…

179th Pharyngula. Biologist Phil Myers explains basic science concepts behind science misconceptions. (Does in a blog what the scientists on the Concat team do in the bar, but with greater coherence.)
1,647th The Panda's Thumb. Where to go to get the correct science countering intelligent design and creationism.
1,884th Real Climate. Sound climate science from current controversy and news clearly explained. (Dare we say, 'better than if you don't have our climate read Jonathan on hand…?' Probably better not.)
2,174th Cosmic Variance. Physics and astrophysics with some interesting muse on the fly. (Does what we've been trying to get our Graham to do for years.)
3,429th The Scientific Activist. Where science meets politics in the US as reported by Nick Anthis. (Covers the ground for all science which our Jonathan does in the UK for bioscience.)
