I just put up some stuff on my web site for biology students. Have a look at: http://www.biology.ie/leaving-cert-biology-stuff.php or just go to the home page of www.biology.ie and look for the Leaving Cert. Biology Stuff. Wish I could get involved in science week - but it seems a closed shop - run by 'the big boys' with a focus on technology. Natural sciences seems to be left out. Pity really since this century will see more of a fusion between technology and biology than ever before. A friend of mine did physics in TCD and is now working on a Ph D. in Cambridge in nanotechnology/biology. Back to science. I just put up some stuff on my web site for biology students.

Is the race still on? Get a bike - not a blog. God, Emmet, give us a break! Is the race still on? Get a bike - not a blog.

Race is in less than 12 hours.

Like the site by the way, have been on it before - very interesting project. KM - Yes the Edelman site is a little bit lacking in content at the moment. Some dual post (but relatively little at that) is happening more so to encourage other staff to post content such as the Bud Rising video which other staff here were responsible for. We do some great work here so just trying to get other staff members to actively talk about it. No worries Paul it’s shameless plug day.

The best and definitive interactive 'nature' web site in Ireland is mine at www.biology.ie. I run Ireland's first Spring Watch and Autumn Watch using Yahoos maps to plot sightings of events such as the first leaf fall or first arrival of flowers. The site also hosts the National Road Kill Survey, which passes data to the National Road Authority. Other wildlife projects include surveys on Mammals, Lizard and Biodiversity. All the data can be viewed on either Yahoo maps or Flash maps county by county. The site can also be used by professionals because it takes in data using the Irish Grid system and lat/long readings. I would be interested in bloggers opinion of the site. Plug, plug plug. Don't worry Piaras, I'm more shameless than you. Piaras, If your bloggers want to know what a shameless plug is, just read on.

Don't think that that really qualifies as a loudspekaer for my own work. Hmm three shameless plugs in three years (albeit that they happen to all have been posted in the last month).

All this patting yourself on the back has become tiresome. Piaras, I fear your blog has become little more than loudspeaker for you own work.
