Nature put an awesome billboard Podcast advert up in the Gaslamp district of San Diego around the time of the FASEB and AACR conferences. Just in case you’re wondering, the poster girl silhouette is that of Nature Reviews Neuroscience editor Monica Hoyos Flight.

Title says it all really. This is a great boon for us, sort of the equivalent of the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar, so kudos to anyone and everyone at Nature.com who has helped us to achieve this recognition. It’s a popular vote, so VOTE NOW! You have to register first though.
The awards are announced on the 6th May, and we’re up against two Nasa sites, Water: H20 = Life, and a site from the Exploratorium. It tells you how the voting is going, we’re currently third so VOTE NOW!

Scifooers Nick Dragotta and Saul Griffith published their awesomely brilliant Howtoons book yesterday (US only I think). It’s a comic style book aimed at kids with intructions on how to do kitchen science and make brilliant things such as a zoetrope or soda bottle submarine. Theirs was my favourite talk at Scifoo, and not just because I got to seriously geek out with an artist who actually draws ol’ webhead himself. This is a must for anyone who:
1) has children between the ages of 7 and 15
2) Is a child between the ages of 7 and 15
3) Still feels like a child between the ages of 7 and 15, despite physical evidence to the contrary
4) Reads comics
5) Likes making stuff
6) Cares about science.
That’s everyone, isn’t it?

This week, we’ve launched our brain research podcast series called NeuroPod. It’s presented by our very own Kerri Smith, my co-host on the Nature Podcast, and is produced in association with the Dana Foundation.
It’s monthly, and the first show can be found here (but do sign up to the feed:
https://www.nature.com/neuro/podcast/rss/neuro.xml
We’ve got items on cognitive enhancements for making supersoldiers, what fMRI actually tells you, and the hippocampus stress and learning.
While I’m here, this week’s Nature Podcast is a real humdinger even if I do say so myself. We’ve got jets on one of Saturn’s moons, a first hand report on being a IAEA inspector, a plea for journalists to avoid geological metaphors, gene duplication in yeast evolution and how words evolve or become fixed. Where else can you here Chaucer on a science podcast. Plus chat on the very important Nobels and the not-quite-as-serious Igs too.
